C
G
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.
F
C
Dm
Am
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns!
F
G
But even then we should have stayed...
Am
F
But we ran away,
C
G
Now all my friends are gone.
Am
F
C
G
Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
Am
F
Ran away,
C
G
What are we running from?
Am
F
C
G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
Am
G
F
Where have they gone?
C
G
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...
F
C
Dm
Am
I bought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
F
G
You gave my emptiness a name...
Am
F
And you ran away,
C
G
Now all my friends are gone,
Am
F
C
G
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
Am

Ran away-ee-ayy,

What are we running from?
