Run 1
[Verse 1]
Em C/E G Run 1
I'm going out sleepwalking
Em C/E G Run 1
Where mute memories start talking
Em C/E G Run 1
The boss that couldn't help but hurt you
Em C/E G Run 1
And the pretty thing he made desert you
Em C/E G Run 1
I'm going out like a baby
Em C/E G Run 1
A naive unsatisfiable baby
Em C/E G Run 1
Grabbing on to whatever's around
Em C/E G Run 1A
For the soaring high or the crushing down
[Bridge/Chorus]
A7
With hidden cracks that don't show
D C
But that constantly just grow
[Verse 2]
Run 1
Em C/E G Run 1
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
Em C/E G Run 1
While everybody was laughing at me
Em C/E G Run 1
You beat it in me, that part of you
Em C/E G Run 1
But I'm gonna split us back in two
[Bridge/Chorus]
A7
Tired of living in a cloud
D C
If you're gonna say shit now, you'll do it out loud
[Verse 3]
Run 1
Em C G Run 1
It's 2:45 in the morning
Em C G Run 1
And I'm putting myself on warning
Em C G Run 1
For waking up in an unknown place
Em C G Run 1
With a recollection you've half erased
A7
Looking for somebody's arms
D C
To wave away past harms
Run 1
Em C G Run 1
I'm walking out on center circle
Em C G Run 1
The both of you can just fade to black
Em C G Run 1
I'm walking out on center circle
Em C G
Been pushed away and I'll never go back
