E          C#m                  G#m
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
            B                         E
You look so  happy when I'm not with you
              C#m                       G#m
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
          B                          E
A single teardrop falling from your eye

             C#m   G#m
I don't know why I run away
B             E
Mm mm mm mm mm
              C#m        G#m
I'll make you cry when I run away
B             E
Mm mm mm mm mm

You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away
Mm mm mm mm mm
I make you cry when I run away
Mm mm mm mm mm

Chorus:
F#m     C#m                   A
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
           B
Save your tears for another

 E         C#m                 G#m B
Save your tears for another day
 E         C#m                 G#m B
Save your tears for another day

I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
I broke your heart like someone did to mine
Now you won't love me for a second time

I don't know why I run away (Mm)
I make you cry when I run away (Mm)

Chorus:
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another

I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better

Save your tears for another day (Ooh-ooh)
Save your tears for another day (Ooh-ooh)
Save your tears for another day (Ooh-ooh)
Save your tears for another day (Ooh-ooh)
