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 B 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.
