Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 synth is playing A, guitar kicks in (about 0:17) with A as well
 Oh take  me anywhere you  could
 Imagine and faithfully  I will break  the prison I was  born in
 Oh take  me anywhere the sun  shines
 Away the harms  of mankind  off my  shoulders
 'Cause  anything that we were meant to be
 Was lost  but I want to escape in the afternoon
 To see the youth run through my  hands
 1st bridge:
 Sometimes  I miss
 My  old friends in  my home town
 But don't take  me anywhere it  makes me
 To dream about  a life without  a past with  you
 'Cause  anything that we were meant to be
 Was lost  but I want to escape in the afternoon
 To see the youth run through my  hands
 And anything  that we were said to be
 Was ruled  in the juvenile grey industry mind
 Now do you see yourself that  way
 2nd Bridge + Solo
 
 Huhuuhuhu  Huhuuhuhu  Huhuuhuhu  Huhuuhu
 When everything  they wanted to be
 The better  people on a map of turning backs
 Oh I'd just like to try to breathe
 'Cause  anything that we were meant to be
 Was lost  and I want to escape in the afternoon
 To see the youth run through my  hands
 To see the youth run through my  hands
 end with continuing slapping A
  To see the youth run through my hands
