Chords: Em, D/F#, G, D(but leave in G and just pick from D string up),

Play the chords by picking the base string and either a quick strum or pick run over the
of the chord (I haven't tried to get the exact picking structure). Play the intro 2x.
1st Verse: (Play soft chords with pick runs, not full strum)
Em G Cadd9 G/B
Please show me there’s something wrong
Am C
That I don’t see in you
Em G Cadd9 G/B
Some terrible secret flaw
Am C
That no one could excuse
Em G Cadd9 G/B
I try to hide you from my mind
Am C
And make myself forget
Em G Cadd9 G/B
Please don’t try to stay we'll only
Am C C
Make what’s clean a mess
Chorus: (This chorus is barely picking strings, mostly piano)
G Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Run away now
Em into Intro picking, one time, end on C
Run away girl
2nd Verse: (Full strum)
Em G Cadd9 G/B
The way that you smile at me
Am C
Isn’t helping much at all
Em G Cadd9 G/B
Please try not to laugh it only
Am C
Makes me want you more
Em G Cadd9 G/B
We both know this could never be
Am C
But I can’t let you go
Chorus:
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Run away girl
Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Run away now

Run away girl

Run away now

D Em7 Cadd9
What if you thought you saw a ghost

Was impossible to save
