Bm
Graffiti decorations
G
Under a sky of dust
Bm
A constant wave of tension
G
On top of broken trust
Bm
The lessons that you taught me
G
I learn were never true

Em
Now I find myself in question
G
(They point the finger at me again)
Em
Guilty by association
G                         A
(You point the finger at me again)

Chorus:
Bm       D    G
I wanna run away
       A       Bm
Never say goodbye
Bm        D        G
I wanna know the truth
        A              Bm
Instead of wondering why
Bm        D      G
I wanna know the answers
 A       Bm
No more lies
Bm        D       G
I wanna shut the door
    A           Bm
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

Chorus

Bm
I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
