  			"Runaway" 

G#m                   C# 
I've been feeling all alone, 
E                  B     F# 
I've had no one to lean on 
G#m                       C# 
Losing sleep here waiting on a falling star, 
E                B      F#      C# 
to wish away the fear inside my heart. 

G#m       B 
Run, run away. 
      E                    F# 
Don't have to pretend that I'm okay. 
G#m         B 
This is the day, 
     E              F# 
That I will lead my own parade. 
      C# 
Don't worry I'm fine, 
                         G#m     C#    E    B    F# 
I just needed some time, away. 

G#m                      C# 
Walking backwards in the sun, 
E                        B      F# 
Second guessing all that I've become. 
G#m                C# 
I'm a rebel on the run from the truth, 
E                    B        F#        C# 
I'm thinking I could use some help from you. 

G#m       B 
Run, run away. 
      E                    F# 
Don't have to pretend that I'm okay.

This is the day, 
     E              F# 
That I will lead my own parade. 
      C# 
Don't worry I'm fine, 
                          E  
I just needed some time, away. 


                   F# 
I've waited all my life, 
                   G#m 
I'm leaving here tonight. 
                        F#  E 
It's something I've got to do. 
               F# 
No it's not goodbye, 
                      G#m 
'Cause I will see you soon.

G#m                C# 
I'm a rebel on the run, 
E                       F# 
You're a gypsy from the sun. 
                 
      G#m       B 
Let's run, run away.

Don't have to pretend that we're okay.

All we need is time, away.
