Intro: F C/E Dm C (2x) 

C                  (F) 
Stood in the rain and watched you go 
I feel a lump in my throat 
And this is far from joy 

C           (F) 
I never seemed to learn 
That high makes things harder 
That high I get from you 

C              (C/G)         Am                G/B   C 
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms 
C              (C/G)         Am                G/B    
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart 
Am          C/E       F                         G/B      C 
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars 
                  F 
I'm seeing stars - watch me fall apart 

C             (F) 
I think of drying all the time 
But I've got joy to take my side 
Fear is my favorite ride ooh hey hoh 

C              (C/G)         Am                G/B   C 
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms 
C              (C/G)         Am                G/B    
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart 
Am          C/E       F                         G/B      C 
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars 
                  F 
I'm seeing stars - watch me fall apart 

And then you see, oooh 

C              (C/G)         Am                G/B   C 
I've figured out that joy is not in your arms 
C              (C/G)         Am                G/B    
I know I'll always ache with an empty heart 
Am          C/E       F                         G/B      C 
I think it's time to run cause I'm seeing stars 
                  F 
I'm seeing stars - watch me fall apart
