C G A F (2x)
C G
I can still remember
A
The words and what they meant
F
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
C G
Days blurred into each other
A
Though everything seemed clear
F
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
A F C D
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
A F G
But even then we should have stayed
A F
But we ran away
C G
Now all my friends gone
A F C G
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
A F C G
Runaway what are we running from?
A F C G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
A G F
Where have they gone?
C G
Identities assume us
A
As nine and five add up
F
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
C G
I looked up and saw you
A
I know that you saw me
F
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
A F C G
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
A F G
You gave my emptiness away
A F
And you ran away
C G
Now all my friends gone
A F C G
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
A F C G
Runaway what are we running from?
A F C G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
A G F
Where have they gone?
A F C G
We’re all ok, until the day we’re not
A F C G
The surface shines, while the inside rots
A F C G
We raced the sunset and we almost won
A F C G
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
And we ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
