[Verse 1]

…
X
I’m stuck with these sins
I’m hopin’ maybe time can resolve them
I’m a lying cheating fiend and coward
Who’s trying to follow Christ
I’m hopin’ He can fix this old dog with new tricks
His death is my only device
Ya death is my only device

[Chorus 1]

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                              F#m
Well all that’s true, that I was running from you
D/A                          A-X
Turns out I was running from me

[Verse 2]

X
There’s a girl who lives down my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She tells me I’m poor and my daddy’s at war
Oh who’s gonna take care of me?

[Verse 3]

X
Now if history is violence and sex
I’d rather not pay my respects
If I’ve caused offense
If I’m too direct
I’m just trying to talk some sense

I’m politically in-correct
I said

[Chorus 2]

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                               F#m
Well all that’s truth, that I was running from you
D/A                          A
Turns out I was running from me

[Bridge]

F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               A
Running away from me
F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               A-X
Running away from me

[Verse 4]

X
I’ve been given this a lot of thought
Who am I? Who on earth is God?
The answer ain’t kind
And reason to find
But by God it’s the only answer I got
Yeah God it’s the only chance I’ve got

[Chorus 3]

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                               F#m
Well all that’s truth, that I was running from you
D/A                          A
Turns out I was running from me
         D/A \ \   \   \    \    A
It turns out I was run-ning from me

[Bridge]

F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               A
Running away from me
F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               X
Running away from me

[Interlude]

X
Alright. Since this is the last song
You have to sing that part.
That’s the rules.
It goes like this…

[Bridge]

F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               G#
Running away from me
