You gave me such a bad time

Thorn in my side
You know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated
I was feeling low
Now every time I think of you
I shiver to the bone
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah
(Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah)
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah

Chorus:
To run away from you
(So run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(So run-run, run, run)

C                F
(Run-run, run, run)
C                G
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)

To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(So un-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(So un-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)
