Run 1 Em C/E G
Run 1 Em C/E G
Run 2 Em C/E G
Run 1 Em C/E G Run 1
[Verse 1]
Em C/E G Run 1 I'm going out sleepwalking Em C/E G Run 1 Where mute memories start talking Em C/E G Run 1 The boss that couldn't help but hurt you Em C/E G Run 1 And the pretty thing you made desert you Em C/E G Run 1 I'm going out like a baby Em C/E G Run 1 A naive unsatisfiable baby Em C/E G Run 1 Grabbing on to whatever's around Em C/E G Run 1A For the soaring high or the crushing down
[Chorus]
A7 Am With hidden cracks that don't show D C But that constantly just grow
[Verse 2]
Em C/E G Run 1 I'm looking for the man that attacked me Em C/E G Run 1 While everybody was laughing at me Em C/E G Run 1 You beat it in me, that part of you Em C/E G Run 1A But I'm gonna split us back in two
[Chorus]
A7 Am Tired of living in a cloud D C If you're gonna say shit now, you'll do it out loud
[Verse 3]
Em C/E G Run 1 It's 2:45 in the morning Em C/E G Run 1 And I'm putting myself on warning Em C/E G Run 1 For waking up in an unknown place Em C/E G Run 1A With a recollection you've half erased
[Chorus]
A7 Am Looking for somebody's arms D C Run 1 To wave away past harms
[Verse 4]
Em C G Run 1 I'm walking out on center circle Em C G Run 1 The both of you can just fade to black Em C G Run 1 I'm walking out on center circle Em C G Run 1 Been pushed away and I'll never go back
[Outro]
Em C G Run 1
Em C G Run 1
Em C G Run 2
