Chorus:
A
I wanna run away
            F#m9
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
C#m7       Dmaj7   C#m7         Dmaj7
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun
A
I'd rather run away
            F#m9
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
C#m7      Dmaj7    C#m7         Dmaj7
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

     A
You need an instant ease
F#m9
From the life where you got plenty
          C#m7         Dmaj7
Of every hurt and heartbreak
                 C#m7        Dmaj7
You just take it all to the face
    A
I know that you want to cry
F#m9
But it's much more to life than dyin'
     C#m7         Dmaj7
Over your past mistakes
                     C#m7          Dmaj7
And people who threw dirt on your name

A
Since ten, I've been feelin' lonely
F#m9
Had friends but they was pickin' on me
C#m7                      Dmaj7
Always thinkin', "Why my lips so big?"
   C#m7                   Dmaj7
Was I too dark? Can they sense my fears?
A
These gay thoughts would always haunt me
F#m9
I prayed God would take it from me
C#m7         Dmaj7
It's hard for you when you're fightin'
C#m7        Dmaj7
And nobody knows it when you're silent

I'd be by the phone
Stanning Nicki mornin' into dawn
Only place I felt like I belonged
Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?
And I'm happy by the way
That I made that jump, that leap of faith
I'm happy that it all worked out for me
I'ma make my fans so proud of me, oh

Chorus:
I wanna run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun
I'd rather run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

You need an instant ease
From your life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak (Oh)
You just take it all to the face
I know that you want to cry
But there's much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes (Oh)
And people who threw dirt on your name
