• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: B minorBm


Verse :
BB
 I ran from my house that cannot contain me
BB
 From the man that I cannot keep
BB
 From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone
BB
 From my daughter that never sleeps


Chorus:
C# minorC#m  A augmentedA      F#F#
  I ran from the noise and the silence
BB         A augmentedA    BB  A augmentedA
 From the traffic on the streets

BB  A augmentedA
BB  A augmentedA

Verse :
BB
 I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky
BB
 Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair
BB
 And soaked my shoes and skin
BB
 Hid my tears, hid my fears


Chorus:
C# minorC#m  A augmentedA  F#F#
  BB     A augmentedA     BB     A augmentedA
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
 BB     A augmentedA     BB      A augmentedA
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me



Verse :
BB         A augmentedA   BB          E/G#
 I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
BB      A augmentedA      BB         E/G#
 Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
BB  A augmentedA       BB      E/G#
 Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
BB   A augmentedA      BB   E/G#    BB  A augmentedA BB E/G#
 And held my breath, and thought about your death
BB    A augmentedA     BB   E/G#
 I ran to the lake, up into the hills
BB     A augmentedA   BB        E/G#
 I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
BB    A augmentedA   BB       E/G#
 And I saw the crumbling tombstones

Chorus:
C# minorC#m  A augmentedA      F#F#
   All forgotten names
BB        A augmentedA BB       A augmentedA
 I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
BB       A augmentedA    BB       A augmentedA
 I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears


Bridge:
BB     A augmentedA         BB     E/G#
 And the ground gave way beneath my feet
BB     A augmentedA      BB     E/G#
 And the earth took me in her arms
BB    A augmentedA
 Leaves covered my face
BB        A augmentedA
 Ants marched across my back
BB    A augmentedA     BB  E/G#
 Black sky opened up, blinding me


Chorus:
C# minorC#m  A augmentedA  F#F#

 BB     A augmentedA     BB     A augmentedA
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
 BB     A augmentedA     BB      A augmentedA
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
 BB      A augmentedA    BB     A augmentedA
I ran to the lakes and up to the hill
 BB     A augmentedA    BB       A augmentedA
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still


Outro:
N.C.
And I smelled her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away
