               A
Just running scared
              Bm
Each place we go
    C#m
So afraid
E7              A
That he might show

                A
Yeah, running scared
             Bm
What would I do
           C#m
If he came back
E7          A
And wanted you

               A
Just running scared
        Bm
Feeling low
        C#m
Running scared
              E7
You loved him so

               A
Just running scared
          Bm
Afraid to lose
           C#m
If he came back
E7                    A    A7
Which one would you choose

D           D6      D
Then all at once - He was standing there
D             D6          D
So sure of himself - his head in the air
D            D6           D
My heart was breaking - which one would it be
D           D6         D       E7       A
You turned around and walked away with me
