Intro 2x: F  C  Dm  A# 

Verso 1:
F               C
  I can still remember
                        Dm
The words and what they meant
                             A#
As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement
F                        C
  Days blurred into each other
                         Dm
Though everything seemed clear
                       A#
We cruised along at half speed 

But then we shifted gears 

Pré-Refrão:
Dm           A#               F                Gm
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Dm        A#                   C
 But even then we should have stayed

Refrão:
              Dm   A#
But we ran away
    F              C
Now all my friends gone
   Dm          A#              F                   C
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Dm   A#
Runaway 
F                  C
what are we running from ?
  Dm                 A#             F           C
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Dm   C    A#
Where have they gone ? 

Verso 2:
F               C
  Identities assume us 
                     Dm
As nine and five add up
              A#
Synchronizing watches 

To the seconds that we lost
F                  C
  I looked up and saw you
                    Dm
I know that you saw me
                   A#
We froze but for a moment

In empathy 

Pré-Refrão:
Dm                   A#               F               Gm
  I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Dm          A#          C
 You gave my emptiness away 

Refrão:
             Dm   A#
And you ran away
    F              C
Now all my friends gone
   Dm          A#              F                   C
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Dm   A#
Runaway 
F                  C
what are we running from ?
  Dm                 A#             F           C
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Dm   C    A#
Where have they gone ? 
 
Ponte:
Dm     A#   F             Dm   A#    C
 We're all ok, until the day we're not
Dm   A#       F                 Dm  A#  C
 The surface shines, while the inside rots
Dm  A#         F             Dm  A#  C
 We raced the sunset and we almost won
Dm  A#           F               Dm     A#    C
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 

Refrão:
            Dm   A#
And we ran away
    F              C
Now all my friends gone
   Dm          A#              F                   C
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Dm   A#
Runaway 
F                  C
what are we running from ?
  Dm                 A#             F           C
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Dm   C    A#
Where have they gone ?
