# Intro: C G Am F X2

C               G
  I can still remember
                        Am
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
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear
                       F
We cruised along at half speed 

But then we shifted gears 


Am           F               C                D
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Am        F                   G
 But even then we should have stayed


              Am   F
But we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 


C               G
  Identities assume us 
                     Am
As nine and five add up
              F
Synchronizing watches 

To the seconds that we lost
C                  G
  I looked up and saw you
                    Am
I know that you saw me
                   F
We froze but for a moment

In empathy 


Am                   F               C               D
  I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Am          F          G
 You gave my emptiness away 


             Am   F
And you ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 
 

Am     F   C             Am   F    G
 We?re all ok, until the day we?re not
Am   F       C                 Am  F  G
 The surface shines, while the inside rots
Am  F         C             Am  F  G
 We raced the sunset and we almost won
Am  F           C               Am     F    G
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 


            Am   F
And we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ?
