    C           G            F          G
Got up on the wrong side of life today yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No you can't cause you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies but the sun isn't coming out no
Today it's like I'm under a heavy cloud

    C G F        G   C G F
And I   feel so alive
         G      C G F           G  C G F G
I can't help myself, don't you realize

Chorus:
Am                       C
I just wanna scream and lose control
   F
Throw my hands up and let it go
   Am               C            F
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah

So So is how I'm doing if you're wondering
I'm in a fight with the world but I'm winning
Stay there come closer it's at your own risk
Yeah you know how it is life can be a bitch

But I (I) feel so alive (Feel so alive)
I can't help myself (I can't help myself)
Don't you realize?

Chorus

Am       C      F
Runaway Runaway - x4
