[Verse 1]
CG
I can still remember,
Am
The words and what they meant,
F
As we etched them with our fingers,
C
In years of wet cement.
G
Days blurred into each other,
Am
Though everything seemed clear,
F
We cruised along at half speed,
Am
But then we shifted gears.
FCDmAm
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns!
FG
But even then we should have stayed...
[Chorus]
AmF
But we ran away,
CG
Now all my friends are gone.
AmFCG
Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
AmF
Ran away,
CG
What are we running from?
AmFCG
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
AmGF
Where have they gone?
[Verse 2]
CG
Identities assume us,
Am
As nine and five add up,
F
Synchronising watches,
C
To the seconds that we lost.
G
And I looked up and saw you,
Am
I know that you saw me,
F
We froze but for a moment,
Am
In empathy...
FCDmAm
I bought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
FG
You gave my emptiness a name...
[Chorus]
AmF
And you ran away,
CG
Now all my friends are gone,
AmFCG
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
AmF
Ran away-ee-ayy,
CG
What are we running from?
AmFCG
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
AmGF
Where have they gone?
[Instrumental]

GGGGGGGG
[Bridge]
AmFCAmFG
We're all okay, until the day we're not.
AmFCAmFG
The surface shines, while the inside rots.
AmFCAmFG
We raced the sunset, and we almost won.
AmFCAmFGAm
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went oooon...
[Instrumental]
(Start on low strings, build higher)
GFGFCFG
[Chorus]
AmF
And we ran away,
CG
Now all my friends are gone,
AmFCG
Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
AmF
Ran away,
CG
What are we running from?
AmFCG
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
AmGF
Where have they gone?
