OUTRUN YOUR DEMONS by GLORIA DELUXE
-------------------------------------
[Intro]
E F G# x 6
E
[Verse 1]
E F G# E
I tried to outrun my demons
E F G# E
But they snuck around the back way and headed me off at the curve
E F G# E
In a fierce ambush
E F G# E
I may as well have balanced a bucket of water on the head of a pin
E F G# G
Because to shed your demons you'd have to shed your own skin
[Chorus]
G C D G
So if there's a way out of my skin
G C D G
I'd like to know just what it is
G C D C A# A E F G# E
I want a new language and a new tongue, a new strategy
[Verse 2]
E F G# E
Cuz I tried to outrun my demons
E F G# E
It was like trying to catch a dark cloud with a butterfly net
E F G# E F G# E
It was like trying to walk across freshly fallen snow without leaving tracks
E F G# G
Cuz the past has a way of coming back
[Chorus 2]
G C D G
So I'm gonna get to know those little demons
G C D G
So I can know where they end and I begin
G C D C
I'm gonna peel back that fine line
A# A G
That divides me from my mind
[Chorus]
G C D G
So if there's a way out of my skin
G C D G
I'd like to know just what it is
G C D C A# A E
I want a new language and a new tongue, a new strategy
[Outro]
A# A E x2
