                  D#      Fm            C#
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

I'm so good at walls, good at lies, putting up my fences, oh, yeah
I'm human as it gets when it comes to you, oh, yeah
Looking in the mirror, seeing a man with a million faces, ooh, no
But every single one, they know the truth

Chorus

I've run so far and so high
I'll chase the sun 'til light time

Chorus
