          Bm                G               D
There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
             Bm           G            D
Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time
        Bm              G            D
Without you I'll never make it out alive
       Bm          G           D
But I know yes I know we’ll be alright

There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me
And every time I turn around, it's only gaining speed
There's a moment when you finally realize
There's no way you can change the rolling tide

       Bm          A                G
But I know yes I know that I'll be fine

Chorus:
D
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!)
   G
Escape from this city and follow the sun
                D                G        D
Cuz I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine
         G         D           A           G
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night
D
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!)
    G
Wherever you are is the place I belong
                 D         G        D
Cuz I wanna be free and I wanna be young
      G          D
I'll never look back now
     A       Bm G D
I'm ready to run
             Bm G D
I'm ready to run

There's a future in my life I can't foresee
Unless, of course,
I stay on course and keep you next to me
There will always be the kind that criticize

But I know, yes I know, we'll be alright

Chorus

  C                     D
This time I'm ready to run
          C
Ready to run
                                          A
I'll give everything that I got for your love

Chorus
