[Strophe]
C           G 
Patient anticipation  
D		      Am 
Up till now I've been hurry up and waiting  
     C                G         D 
at a bus stop in independence licking an ice-cream cone  
          C                  G 
I've been kicking I've been scheming  
D                         Am 
This is as close as I've ever been to leaving  
C                 G                       D 
Five blocks away, a stone's throw from home  
    Em  D          Cadd9 
But I'm as good as gone 
[Refrain]
	     G          D 
I gotta get gone gone gone  
                Em          C 
shooting like a gun a gun a gun  
                G           D 
skipping like a stone stone stone  
             Em		     C 
Far as I can run to where freedom is free  
          Em			D 	           Cadd9 
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see  
         Cm 
and it's pulling independence out of me

[Strophe]
    C             G 
Emancipation or paper chasing  
D		                Am 
leaving with question marks and Momma's blessing  
          C             G 
I put her picture in my pocket  
                 D 
along with her rosary  
              C                G 
some say I’m crazy, a little loco  
    D                                Am 
and most of my friends will live and die in this zip code  
   C              G            D 
It might be for me but until I go  
    Em D                  Cadd9 
How am I ever supposed to know 
[Refrain]
	     G          D 
I gotta get gone gone gone  
                Em          C 
shooting like a gun a gun a gun  
                G           D 
skipping like a stone stone stone  
             Em		     C 
Far as I can run to where freedom is free  
          Em			D 	           Cadd9 
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see

independence busting out of me
