D            D+              Dsus4
We say "goodbye", I turn my back
                D
Run away, run away, so predictable
Not far from here, you see me crack
Like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable

D      D+        Dsus4
And I take everything from you
But you'll take anything
Won't you?

Chorus:
D        G
Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Bm
Don't you wait for me
G
Don't you wait for me
D                 G
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
Bm
And you wait for me
G
And you wait for me

I'm on the road to who knows where
Look ahead, not behind, I keep sayin'
There's no place to go where you're not there
On your rope, I hold tight, but it's frayin'

And I take everything from you
But you'll take anything
Won't you?

Chorus

Everybody wants to be right,
but only if it's night or daylight
I keep tryin' to find my way back, my way back

Chorus

Run away, run away, away from you,
from you, from you, oh
