Am       G                   Em             F
You ever catch yourself just thinking of a way to get out?

Am          Em7      F     G
It’s like a reflex motion.

Am             G              Em                  F
The words slip in and leave a taste that you let linger for days, 

Am  Em7     F
inside your heart.

C                                 Am
We fell asleep, just like before, there under trees

Am
I can’t do this anymore

C                 Am 
Make this all something that’s behind us

    F                 C          G
For me, for you, this is not the end but I’m scared

Am         G                  Em  F
Color your words in a soft subtle sequence

Am      G                  Em    F
But you force this on us like we shouldn’t care

Am              G              Em        F
The fields that they will find us in are marked and now

Am  G        F
The end, the end is here

C
We fell asleep, just like before,

Am
You said I can’t do this anymore
CHORUS (x2)
C
You better run, you best not stay

Am                                F
They catch you here this all goes away

F             C    G
This all goes away 

Am           G             Em        F
Just give me a chance to change your mind

Am         G                   Em   F
Speak with the others you will see

Am             G       Em      F
The place that you now hope to find, your peace 

Am       G      F
will cut pieces right out from me

C         Dm
You could make this all go away

Am
Years Swept by us like Seas

Em           G                C
And we slept by ourselves to see

C
We hid hope in our sleeves

Dm
And all the world knew we believed

Am                       Em
This life took me by the hand

Em        G                 C
God knows where you’ll find yourself (in the end)

C
You better run, you best not stay

Am                                F
They catch you here this all goes away

F            C     G
This all goes away. (x2)

Am                                G
The less you say the more I can’t shake

G                    F                             Am
The reason you would leave is the reason you could stay

        G                             F  
Oh, The less you say the more I can’t shake

                     Am           C                F
The reason you would leave is the reason you could stay

                     Am    C          F
The reason you could stay, you could stay

                               Am
And Lord knows you've got your reasons

C         F
You could stay

                   Am     C       F
But just listen to what I have to say.
