Verse:
      Bmaj
I know it's hard to admit,

That your prescription fix,
   G#-              F#maj
Can't help you with the way that you feel in your skin.
 Bmaj
Emotional equivalent,

To a stone stauette.
G#-             F#maj
Shutting people out with the flip of a switch.
  Bmaj
So gather all your stones,

And gather all your sticks.
     G#-
Extend a drunken communion,
     F#maj
Between a couple hypocrites.
   Bmaj
Your mind is too sick,

But your pride can't resist,
    G#-             F#maj
So the first one to win's just the last one to quit.

Chorus:
     B5/E
Then you say.

      F#maj           G#-
Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun.
  B5/E
No need for direction,
   F#maj
Just get me away,
   G#-       Bmaj
From everything I've done.
B5/E           F#maj
Take all the weight on my shoulders,

And put it on,
Bmaj F#maj B5/E
My saving grace.
B5/E
Whatever it takes,
    F#maj
To feel light enough,
    Bmaj  Bmaj Bmaj Bmaj
To runaway.

Verse 2:
   Bmaj
I got used to the rescue,

The hospital chair.
   G#-
Kinda felt like a hero,
      F#maj
Without the cape and the flair.

You said,
 Bmaj
I think we're all messed up,

But I'm beyond repair.
    G#-
If I'm going to hell,
     F#maj
Will you,

Meet me there?
  Bmaj
We recycled tragedy,

Got off from the pain.
   G#-
Made love in the psych ward,
    F#maj
But the loneliness stayed.
   Bmaj
Now I can't shake the nightmare,

So I'm always awake.
      G#-
You're off sleeping like a baby,
     F#maj
Life's a paid holiday.

Chorus:
     B5/E
When you say.

      F#maj           G#-
Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun.
  B5/E
No need for direction,
   F#maj
Just get me away,
   G#-       Bmaj
From everything I've done.
B5/E           F#maj
Take all the weight on my shoulders,

And put it on,
Bmaj F#maj B5/E
My saving grace.
B5/E
Whatever it takes,
    F#maj
To feel light enough,
    Bmaj  Bmaj Bmaj Bmaj
To runaway.

Bridge:
 B5/E
I hope you know,
    F#maj
That I wouldn't,
     G#-
Change a thing.
  B5/E
And when you finally realize,
 F#maj
You can't fill a void,
   G#-
With sedatives,
   Bmaj     F#maj
Or a double banded diamond ring.
B5/E           F#maj
I'll be the one who finds solace,
  G#-
In despair.
B5/E            F#maj          BB
And from the beach with the sand in my feet and the wind,
F#maj B5/E
In my hair.

I'll say,
   F#maj
I'll say.

Chorus:
B5/E          F#maj     G#-
Pull up the anchor and sail into the sun.
  B5/E
No need for direction,
   F#maj
Just get her away,
  G#-       Bmaj
So she can find someone,
B5/E              F#maj
To take all the weight from her shoulders,
        Bmaj F#maj B5/E
And become that new saving grace,
   B5/E            F#maj
Cause this is the last time I'll let you,
  Bmaj
Runaway.
B5/E            F#maj
This is the last time I'll let you,
  Bmaj
Runaway.
