verse 1 

Em              Bm     A 
The water's frozen to ice 
                 Em                 Bm                   A 
We opened up the floodgates far too late this time 
G           D                 A 
I've been a thorn in your side 
                  Em                  Bm          A 
The exit wound is clean but still it won't heal right 
Em        Bm            A 
I hope we make it tonight 
                     Em              Bm          A 
But there's no happy ending, we just run out of time 

Chorus 1 

             G                       D 
That's why I run for my life, you're exposing a side 
                 A 
That has made me alive for so long 
                      G 
Cause you took off my brilliant disguise 
        D                          A 
And you showed me someone I don't know 
                    G                      D 
And you took all my narcissist lies that I need to survive 
          A 
That have made me alone for so long 
D     Em                A 
Oh, I close my eyes and run 

verse 2 

Em         Bm        A 
I know I'm bent back inside 
            Em                   Bm          A 
I know that everything we had is gone now, I lied 

Chorus 2 

             G                       D 
That's why I run for my life, you're exposing a side 

              A 
That has made me alive for so long 
                      G 
Cause you took off my brilliant disguise 
        D                         A 
And you showed me someone I don't know 
                    G                      D 
And you took all my narcissist lies that I need to survive 
          A 
That have made me alone for so long 
                      G                              D 
And you say as you're waving your goodbyes you can't stand it by my side 
        A                D 
Because all I ever do is run 

Outro 

D         A         Em 
But no, no more 
Bm        A    
I'll run, I'll run 
             Em 
No, no more 
Bm         A 
I'll run, I'll run 
             G 
No, no more 
      D         A 
I'll run, I'll run 
              G 
No, no more 
D           A 
I'll run, I'll run
