G     C  Am
Walk home  drowning
       D
these memories in
     G      C       Am
the rain Biting my lip
              D
to transfer this pain
G       C   Am
You're gone  and I'm still
D                   G
going through withdrawal
      C     Am
Next time around
                D
I'll build a stronger wall

C             G
You broke my guard
      D         C
with guiltless eyes
Devoured me like a
G      D      C
virus from inside
               G
And came back just
    D        C
to salt the wounds
              D
Now thanks to you

Chorus:
G        D
I start running now
(I start running I'm
running away from you)
C        D        G
I start running away
        D        C
When I get too close
      D         G
I'm scared to stay
        D
I start running now
(I start running I'm
running away from you)
C        D        G
I start running away
    D       C
Now others pay
    D
for your mistakes

You needed more attention then I gave
Instead of talking you just played games
And smiled
As my whole world became unstitched
I wish I'd know you could be such
  C#
a heartless bitch

You broke my guard with guiltless eyes
Devoured me like a virus from inside
And came back just to salt the wounds
Now thanks to you...

Chorus

G
I start running now
I start running away
When I get too close
I'm scared to stay
I start running now
I start running away
Now others pay
for your mistakes

Chorus:
G        C
I start running now
(I start running I'm
running away from you)
Am       D        G
I start running away
        C       Am
When I get too close
      D         G
I'm scared to stay
         C
I start running now
(I start running I'm
running away from you)
Am       D        G
I start running away
    C      Am
Now others pay
    D       G
for your mistakes
