The Next Great Escape
Am7 D7
Bikini ladies walking through the bathroom
Am7 D7
Taking several pills to stay in shape
Am7 D7
I saw the restless owls on their telephone calls
Am7 D7
Counting old mistakes

Gm7 Am7
Escaping out the window
Gm7 Am7
Escaping to the street
Gm7 Am7
Escaping almost everywhere
B7
What’s the next great escape?

Am7 D7
Still smoking cigarettes is really silly
Am7 D7
Some would tell you silly’s the new safe
Am7 D7
Suddenly everything seems so temporary
Am7 D7
How did those bikini babes escape?

Gm7 Am7
Escaping out the window
Gm7 Am7
Escaping to the street
Gm7 Am7
Escaping almost everywhere
B7
What’s the next great escape?
