                                  E F#m
What you're given, what you live in
             E F#m
Darlin', it finds a way to live in you
D                          Bm         E F#m
And your heart, love, has such darkness
          E F#m                  D
I feel it in the corners of the room

D                                 Bm
(If I was any closer) After the gloom
                               E F#m
(I could only lose me) I wanna lose me
                 E F#m
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
                          D
I, I wanna fade away with you
                                     E
(If I was any closer) If I was any closer
                                  E F#m
(I could only lose me) I could be lost
                                   E F#m
(If I fade away, let me fade away) No more
than I was or than I

F#m                  E               D
Want to be when you fall on me like night,
       B
every time
      F#m            E                  D
And I want to be so far from sight and mind
                  B
I wanna kill the lights

Chorus:
        F#m
I wanna run against the world that's turnin'
     E                                 D
I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn
           Bm
I wanna be gone
        F#m
I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'
            E                            D
Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun
                Bm
If you want it done

Let all time slow, let all light go
I don't need to know where we begin and end
I'd still know you, not being shown you
I only need the workin' of my hands

(If I was any closer) Do you understand?
(I could only lose me) I wanna lose me
(If I fade away, let me fade away) I,
I wanna fade away with you
(If I was any closer) If I was any closer
(I could only lose me) I could be lost
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
No more than I was or than I

Want to be when you fall on me like night
I wanna kill the lights

Chorus:
I wanna run against the world that's turnin'
I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn
I wanna be gone
I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'
Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun
If you want it done

F#m            F#sus4 E       E6          D
(If I was any closer, I could only lose me)
                  B
(If I fade away, let me fade away)
F#m            F#sus4 E       E6          D
(If I was any closer, I could only lose me)
                  B
(If I fade away, let me fade away)

Chorus:
I wanna run against the world that's turnin'
I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn
I wanna be gone
I wanna run so far, I'd beat the mornin'
Before the dawn has come, I'd block the sun
If you want it done
