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                   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.
