        F#m            E/G#      A
May the bridges I burn light my way
        D          A/C#           E
May the ashes get caught in your eyes
        F#m        E/G#       A
May the dust cloud ruin your day
         D         A/C#         E
May the rain fall heavy on you now

Bm
What's it all to me
  F#m
I say the words as I do hear
Bm                       F#m
I can't sleep until it's said
Bm        D
What's it all to you
      A      E         F#m
Your lies become your truth
           D                E
But who believes you in the end

Chorus:
D                    F#m
'Round and 'round we go
                     A
I've heard it all before
Will you twist the knife?
       Bm
'Cause I can't feel it anymore
D               F#m
A bullet to my heart
                      A
Lying broken on the floor
                       E
Just kick me when I'm down
'Cause that's the man you are

Looking back on things I'd change
Is there anything that I can do or say
But you always seem to fan the flames
Out of control, there's nowhere left to go

What's it all to me
I say it as I see it
There's no rest until it's said
What's it all to you
You don't care for the truth
Your lies will get you
In the end

Chorus

Dmaj7               C#m7
I'm running away from  you
                 Dmaj7
It's all I ever do
                    C#m7      F#m           Bm
Trying to find the path that leads me back home
                     D
The place I always go
The place you'll never know
        E
You'll never have a hold on me
'Cause nothing's like it used to be

Chorus

                     D
Running away from it all
                      F#m
Running away from the world
                       A
Running away from our love
                     E
Running away from it all
