[Verse 1]

C               G
    I can still remember,
                        Am
The words and what they meant,
                             F
As we etched them with our fingers,
                  C
In years of wet cement.

                       G
Days blurred into each other,
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear,
                      F
We cruised along at half speed,
                         Am
But then we shifted gears.

            F               C                Dm   Am
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns!
         F                   G
But even then we should have stayed...


[Chorus]

       Am      F
But we ran away,
    C                  G
Now all my friends are gone.
Am               F                C                   G
Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
    Am   F
Ran away,
     C              G
What are we running from?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone?


[Verse 2]

C                 G
    Identities assume us,
                     Am
As nine and five add up,
              F
Synchronising watches,
                           C
To the seconds that we lost.

                    G
And I looked up and saw you,
                    Am
I know that you saw me,
                   F
We froze but for a moment,
             Am
In empathy...

                      F           C               Dm   Am
I bought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
            F           G
You gave my emptiness a name...


[Chorus]

            Am   F
And you ran away,
    C                  G
Now all my friends are gone,
Am             F             C                   G
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
     Am     F
Ran away-ee-ayy,
     C              G
What are we running from?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone?

[Bridge]

Am    F   C                 Am  F     G
  We're all okay, until the day we're not.
Am      F     C                 Am F   G
  The surface shines, while the inside rots.
Am   F         C              Am  F  G
  We raced the sunset, and we almost won.
Am   F           C               Am     F    G  Am
  We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went oooon...

[Chorus]

           Am  F
And we ran away,
    C                  G
Now all my friends are gone,
Am                    F             C                   G
  Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
    Am  F
Ran away,
     C              G
What are we running from?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone?
