Intro 

Em | Em(9) Emadd10 | C | Cadd12 D 

Em                         Em(9) Emadd10 C 
   Off you go, inside your mind again 
                              Cadd12         D                Em 
Your legs must shake from the memories you chase 'round your head 
                              Em(9)          Emadd10      C             Cadd12 D 
I beg you "no," but there you go to find a version of you that's dead 

Em                          Em(9)          Emadd10       C 
   I don't know why I let myself bear the cuts every time 
                           Cadd12             D            Em 
You shatter our lives to chase what you can't leave behind 
                            Em(9)              Emadd10          C                 Cadd12 D 
Your body's here, but it is clear you're always searching for what you cannot find 


 
Em                                 Em(9)                 Emadd10     C 
   And you shut me out once more I don't know what you're looking for 
                                         Cadd12          D       Em 
And you turn your back on me I'm getting used to all the secrecy 
                             Em(9)             Emadd10         C 
Each time I watch you go the distance 'tween us grows and grows 
                     Cadd12               D 
You may run in one place but I can't keep up this chase 
 

 
Em                           Em(9)     Emadd10         C 
   You must be tired running wild tryna chase your past 
                              Cadd12             D               Em 
You run the time out when you find out that your legs can't last 
                               Em(9)               Emadd10  C 
You can't escape it, you can't change it, this race can't be won 
    Cadd12       D 
But still you always run 
 

Interlude 

Em | Em(9) Emadd10 | C | Cadd12 D 


 
Em                              Em(9)               Emadd10    C 
   And just like that you go to hide your heart deep down below 
                                  Cadd12         D          Em 
And you just choose to ignore the brewing of our coming war 
                                  Em(9)              Emadd10     C 
And you seem to find such ease to leave while I fight desperately 
                          Cadd12          D  
While you're off in the stars I'm nursing battle scars 
 

 
Em                              Em(9)     Emadd10         C 
   Now aren't you tired running wild tryna chase your past? 
                                  Cadd12             D                Em 
You'll run your mind out when you find out that your lungs can't last 
                           Em(9)             Emadd10  C 
You cannot change it, or escape it, this race can't be won 
    Cadd12       D  
And still you always... 
 

 
Em                   Em(9)        Emadd10       C 
   And you have no idea of all you put us through 
           Cadd12             D              Em 
It doesn't take long to trace it back to you 

                            Em(9)        Emadd10      C 
So you can run, and run, go run and run until you drop 
         Cadd12    D     N.C. 
But for me? I'll finally stop 
 

 
        Em                              Em(9)     Emadd10         C 
(But he runs) You must be tired running wild tryna chase your past 
                                  Cadd12             D               Em 
You'll run your mind out when you find out that your legs can't last 
                                 Em(9)               Emadd10   C 
You cannot change this, you must face this, your race can't be won 
    Cadd12      D  
But still you always run 

Em                            Em(9)        Emadd10        C 
   You run in circles jumping hurdles tryna turn back time 
                            Cadd12              D          Em 
And in your chase you will erase your place within my life 
                             Em(9)              Emadd10 C 
So go and run now, chase the sun down, my time's just begun 
      Cadd12        D           Em 
While you would much rather run 
          Em(9)      Emadd10       C 
So go and turn your back on the sun 
    Cadd12      D        Em 
And still you always... 

Run
