C Am You know it tears me up inside Am F To see the feelings that you hide F G Hide inside that empty bottle I wish you saw how great you were I wish you saw what life was worth You wouldn't have to hide your problems F Am And I don't care what you might think Am F I think you've had too much to drink F G Can't even talk when you're this way Chorus: C Am Runaway, runaway F G But that won't make it any better C Am Runaway, runaway F And make tomorrow G C Harder to live than today There's so much out there you could miss There's so much life out there to live If you would just believe in yourself You know you're better than all of this You know you've got so much to give But you're so afraid to give of yourself And I don't care what you might think I think you've had too much to drink Can't even talk when you're this way Chorus F There's a bright light shining inside you C G Am It shines out through your eyes F Am Don't drown it away, don't be afraid G Don't hide C Let it shine You say you're looking for happiness But when it comes, you run away from it You tell yourself you don't deserve it There's not much more that I can do Now the rest is up to you Until you love yourself, you'll never change Chorus: Run away, run away But that won't make it any better Run away, run away And make tomorrow Harder to live than today Run away, run away But that won't make it any better Run away, run away You'll keep on running Until you deal with today You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
