[Opening]
[Bm]Time flies by when the night is young
[Bm]Daylight shines on an unexposed lo[A]cation, location
[Bm]Bloodshot eyes lookin’ for the sun
[Bm]Paradise, we live it, and we call it a va[A]cation, vacation
[chorus]
You’re [Bm]painting me a dream that I.
Wouldn’t be[A]long in, wouldn’t belong in
[chorus]
[Em]Over the hills and far a[A]way
A million miles from [D]L.A.
Just anywhere away with [Bm]you
[Em]I know we’ve got to get a[A]way
Someplace where no one knows our [D]name
We’ll find the start of something [G]new
Just take me [Em]anywhere, take me [A]anywhere
[D]Anywhere away with [G]you
[verse 2]
[Bm]Truth comes out when we’re blacking out
[Bm]Looking for connection in a crowd of empty [A]faces, empty faces
[Bm]Your secrets are the only thing I’m craving now
[Bm]The good, and the bad, and the end ’cause I can [A]take it, I can take it
[chorus]
You’re [Bm]painting me a dream that I.
Wouldn’t be[A]long in, wouldn’t belong in
[chorus]
[Em]Over the hills and far a[A]way
A million miles from [D]L.A
Just anywhere away with [Bm]you
[Em]I know we’ve got to get a[A]way
Someplace where no one knows our [D]name
We’ll find the start of something [G]new
Just take me [Em]anywhere, take me [A]anywhere
[D]Anywhere away with [G]you
[verse 3]
[Em]Take me anywhere, oh, [A]anywhere
[D]Anywhere away with [Bm]you take me anywhere
[chorus]
[Em]Over the hills and far a[A]way
A million miles from [D]L.A
Just anywhere away with [Bm]you
[Em]I know we’ve got to get a[A]way
Someplace where no one knows our [D]name
We’ll find the start of something [G]new
Just take me [Em]anywhere, take me [A]anywhere
[D]Anywhere away with [Bm]you
Just take me [Em]anywhere, take me [A]anywhere
[D]Anywhere away with [G]you

Little less, [A]over, over, over, over, [D]me [Bm]
