Intro:
Em G C G D x2
Verse 1:
Em
For the first time
G C G D
I can't recognize myself
Em G
Try to get better
C G D
Even with professional help
Em G
But therapy's a bandage and I am the wound
C G D
Yeah, I've done some damage I'll never undo
Em G
So I dyed my hair and carved ink in my skin
C G Bm*
To cover up all the things I hate within
Chorus:
Em G
I need to change and learn to run away
C G D
A prescription for love that I'll never take
Em G
I need to change and cut off yesterday
C G D
Cause the things that hurt the most are the things that feel safe
Em G
Run away, run away
C G D
Run away from the way I was raised
Em G
Run away, run away
C Bm G
And learn to make permanent change
[Instrumental]

Verse 2:
Em
I thought a lot about it
G
The grief comes in waves
C
I killed the man I'm supposed to be
G D
Closed the doors of fate
Em G
Self-sabotage with every chance that I get
C G D
Cause I don't deserve love I'm a means to an end
Bridge:
Em G
I'm always screaming on the inside
C G D
Trying to find a way out
Em G
Of this horrible bodysuit I'm wearing
C D G*
But life has lowered me down
Chorus:
Em G
I need to change and learn to run away
C G D
A prescription for love that I'll never take
Em G
I need to change and cut off yesterday
C G D
Cause the things that hurt the most are the things that feel safe
Em G
Run away, run away
C G D
Run away from the way I was raised
Em G
Run away, run away
C Bm G
And learn to make permanent change
Em G C Bm G
And learn to make permanent change
