Intro: C Em  C 

           C                                                F 
Since before I learned to walk, I've been running 
                    C                                           G 
And I could always see the light before the dawn 
            C                                                  F 
Somewhere someone won't even see me coming 
          C                       G                C 
And before the see me going, I'll be gone 
           C                                                F 
Now you've got questions I don't care to answer 
           C                                        G 
And I don't get off on leading people on 
      C                                          F 
It's safe to say I'm no second chancer 
                 C                G                             C 
And the chances are I don't know right from wrong 
 
chorus: 
                   F 
You could never change my mind  
      C   
And I won't change my ways 
                                                               G   
And from the start the lines have all been drawn 
            F 
That I'll just leave you behind  
                C                   F                
Forgetting all my yesterdays 
            C                         G 
I said before you see me going  
           C 
I'll be gone 
 
repeat chorus:
