[Intro] Am G F Am Em F Am G F Am Em F [Verse 1]
F       Am                    G
It took forever to get you to trust me

F          Am                    Em
Like I was feeding a bird from my hand

F      Am                      G
And if this isn't love than it must be

F        G      Am               Em
Another answer I don't understand

F                    A      Am      G
To a prayer that was please and not thank you

F               Am
To a question I wrote in the sand

Em F             Am
To a wish that I made on a satellite

G F               Am           Em     F
From a witness in tears on the stand
[Chorus]
G                                  F    C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F    C
We're running with our eyes closed
[Verse 2]
         Am                          G  F
Well you are who you are when you're angry

            Am                               Em  F
When you're scared or you're sad or you're bored

       Am                         G    F
When a stranger has slipped you a room key

           Am                       C
To a hotel room you couldn't afford

F      Am                     G
We can never go back and be strangers

F       Am                      Em   F
All our secrets are mixed and distilled

           Am                      G
But you've taught me to temper my anger

F          Am                         Em    F
And you've learned it's alright to be still
[Chorus]
G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed
[Interlude] F Em F [Bridge]
F
Sleeping on my own

F
When you won't forgive me

F
Swallowing my pride until I nearly choke

F
Screaming at the phone

F
"Why don't you believe me?"

E               F
Laughing at the joke
[Chorus]
G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed

G                                  F   C
We're running with our eyes closed
[Outro] Am G F Am Em F Am G F Am Em F
