This song doesn't have an acoustic version
but if your like me and like to play songs that are not acoustic
with an acoustic than it's good.
[Intro]
C G Am F (x2)
[Verse 1]
C G
I can still remember
Am
The words and what they meant
F
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
C G
Days blurred into each other
Am
Though everything seemed clear
F
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C D
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Am F G
But even then we should have stayed
[Chorus]
Am F
But we ran away
C G
Now all my friends gone
Am F C G
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Am F
Runaway
C G
what are we running from ?
Am F C G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Am G F
Where have they gone ?
[Verse 2]
C G
Identities assume us
Am
As nine and five add up
F
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
C G
I looked up and saw you
Am
I know that you saw me
F
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C D
I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Am F G
You gave my emptiness away
[Chorus]
Am F
And you ran away
C G
Now all my friends gone
Am F C G
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Am F
Runaway
C G
what are we running from ?
Am F C G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Am G F
Where have they gone ?
[Bridge]
Am F C Am F G
We’re all ok, until the day we’re not
Am F C Am F G
The surface shines, while the inside rots
Am F C Am F G
We raced the sunset and we almost won
Am F C Am F G
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on
[Chorus]
Am F
And we ran away
C G
Now all my friends gone
Am F C G
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Am F
Runaway
C G
what are we running from ?
Am F C G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Am G F
Where have they gone ?
