verse 1
D
I've been dodging the question for too long
G
I see you sitting there
What are you running away from?
D
How long can you stand on a broken branch
G
Before it falls
Em F#m
Leaving won't fix your problems
Pre-Chorus
D
I hate to say I told you so
G
Turns out I came undone
You're not the only one
D
I hate to say I told you so
G
Turns out we're broken and careless
A Bm G
You'll get by while I get better
A Bm G
Don't hold on cause I'll hold you back
A Bm
When there's hope in what I say
G
You always turn away

You'll get by while I get better
G
(While I get better)
verse 2
Em F#m
D
You really shouldn't have left here in the first place

When are you coming back?
I set myself up to break down

A broken heart makes you seem weak

And far from feeling happy
Em F#m
(What are you running away from?)

I hate to say I told you so
