key: B Major (B Mixolydian) [Verse]
B
  I ran from my house that cannot contain me

B
  From the man that I cannot keep

B
  From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone

B
  From my daughter that never sleeps
[Chorus]
C#m   A            F#
   I ran from the noise and the silence

B                  A        B    A
  From the traffic on the streets
B A B A [Verse]
B
  I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky

B
  Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair

B
  And soaked my shoes and skin

B
  Hid my tears, hid my fears
[Chorus] C#m A F#
   B         A          B          A
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees

  B          A          B           A
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
[Verse]
B                 A      B                    E/G#
  I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox

B           A            B                 E/G#
  Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks

B    A              B            E/G#
  Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery

B      A            B      E/G#        B   A  B  E/G#
  And held my breath, and thought about your death

B        A          B     E/G#
  I ran to the lake, up into the hills

B          A      B                E/G#
  I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still

B        A      B             E/G#
  And I saw the crumbling tombstones
[Chorus]
C#m   A            F#
      All forgotten names

B                A  B              A
  I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears

B             A       B             A
  I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears
[Bridge]
B         A                  B          E/G#
  And the ground gave way beneath my feet

B          A            B         E/G#
  And the earth took me in her arms

B        A
  Leaves covered my face

B               A
  Ants marched across my back

B        A          B   E/G#
  Black sky opened up, blinding me
[Chorus] C#m A F#
  B          A         B          A
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees

  B         A          B           A
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me

  B           A        B          A
I ran to the lakes and up to the hill

  B          A        B             A
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
[Outro] N.C. And I smelled her burning flesh Her rotting bones Her decay I ran and I ran I'm still running away
