Intro:
E E D D/G#
Bm C#m D D


Verse 1:
A      E           D           D/G#                                          
  I guess I'll always stop and see you,
        Bm                 C#m  D                                              
  and we'll run into each other's lives.
A          E                 D              D/G#      Bm                     
  Yeah, I guess, although it tears me up inside every time.
       C#m             D                                                      
  It burns my eyes with tears.


Pre-Chorus:
E        C#m                   B    A                                         
  But I know you're worth the pain.
                   E       C#m          B     A                                  
  I've so much more to gain by waiting for you.

Chorus:
C#m                                  E                                      
  You're going away, but you're not going far.

  So if he decides to leave you alone and crying.
           A                                                                    
  You know I'm still here.

  The faithful one.

        A       C#m        E Esus4 E  B       C#m               A  
  Then I'll come... faster...          than I ever thought that I could run.

  Because I...           i need you more than I ever thought that I could need someone, yeah.
   C#m         B    A                                                             
  Someone, someone else.

  I know I will always stop and see you

  and we'll run into each other's fucked up lives.
A           E                 D            D/G#        Bm

  And then you decide to leave me alone and crying.
