[INTRO]
Bb Gm Eb x4
 
[VERSE 1]
 
Bb       F                           Gm                  Eb
Boxed up, all of her favorite things, sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Bb            F                      Gm        Eb
Big plans and leaving friends, and a westbound sign
Bb          F                       Gm          Eb
Weighed out, her choices on a scale, prevailing nothing made sense
Bb           F                  Gm  Eb
Just transportation and a blank decision.
 
[CHORUS]
 
             Bb Gm Eb     Bb Gm Eb
She's taking off,  taking off
       Bb Gm Eb     Bb Gm Eb
Taking off,  taking off
 
[VERSE 2]
 
Bb      F                   Gm             Eb
No time, and no copping out, she's burning daylight and petrol
Bb              F                        Gm       Eb
Blacked out the rear-view mirror heading westward on.
Bb         F                   Gm              Eb
Strung out, on confusion road, and ten minute nervous breakdowns
Bb       F                          Gm   Eb
Xanex, a beer for thought and she's determined
 
[CHORUS]
 
             Bb Gm Eb     Bb Gm Eb
She's taking off,  taking off
       Bb Gm Eb     Bb Gm Eb
Taking off,  taking off
 
[BRIDGE]
 
   F            Ab          Eb                Bb
Oh is this salvation, or an escape from discontent?
F                 Ab             Eb         Bb
Will she find her name, in the California cement?
F                      Ab                      Eb           Bb
Punched her out of the grind, that punched her one too many times
   F           Ab             Eb
Is tragedy two thousand miles away?
             Bb
She's taking off
