D
You gave me such a bad time
G              A7
Tried to hurt me but now i know

D                                 G             A
Thorn in my side, you know that's all you ever were
D                                  G
"A bundle of lies, you know that's all
             A
that it was worth
D                    C
I should have known better, but
    G             A
I trusted you at first
A#                   F
I should have known better,
       A#          G
but I got what I deserve
G
Uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh,
(uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh)
                      C
Uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh

    F             C
To run away from you (run, run, run, run)

Is all that I could do (run, run, run, run)
    F             C
To run away from you (run, run, run, run)
   G                 C
Is all that I could do (run, run, run, run)
    F             C
To run away from you (run, run, run, run)
   G                 C
Is all that I could do (run, run, run, run)
    F             C
To run away from you (run, run, run, run)
   A                 D
Is all that I could do

Thorn in my side
You know that's all you'll ever be
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me
I was feeling complicated
I was feeling low
Now every time I think of you
I shiver to the bone
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah
(Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah)
Oo-woah-uwoah-woah-woah

Chorus:
To run away from you
(So run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(Run-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(So run-run, run, run)

C                F
(Run-run, run, run)
C                G
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So run-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)

To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(So un-run, run, run)
To run away from you
(Run-run, run, run)
Was all that I could do
(So un-run, run, run)
(Run-run, run, run)
(So un-run, run, run)
