Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:

C Dm Am F
C Dm Am F

Verse 1:

C          Dm
I think too much, no lie
            Am
It ain’t easy when your brain is wired this way,
F
But I can’t complain.
    C                 Dm
Cause I know that I could control it if I tried.
     Am                F
But right now, I don’t have the energy, the time.

Pre-Chorus:

C
Watching my problems pile up into something,
   Dm
That it really shouldn’t be.
Am
Up until now I’ve been underestimating,
  F
How bad all this would lead.
C
Maybe I’m just scared of growing up and
 Dm
Becoming something that I’m not.
  Am              F
Or maybe this is all because of me.

Chorus:

       C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
       Dm
‘Cause I’m so sick, sick, sick, sick, sick of it all.
   Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
  F
I’m falling through the words everybody says
       C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
       Dm
‘Cause I’m so tired, tired, tired, tired, tired of it all.
   Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
F
Escapist, gonna run from my problems.
F
Cause I’d rather keep on running than face them

Interlude:

C Dm Am F

Verse 2:

C             Dm
I waste too much time, no lie.
             Am
It’s not easy when you’ve got little motivation.
F
It’s pretty complicated.
   C            Dm
And I know, I should give it a go.
           Am
But what if things go wrong
        F
What will I do then?

Pre-Chorus:

C
Watching my problems pile up into something,
   Dm
That it really shouldn’t be.
Am
Up until now I’ve been underestimating,
  F
How bad all this would lead.
C
Maybe I’m just scared of growing up and
 Dm
Becoming something that I’m not.
  Am              F
Or maybe this is all because of me.

As usual...

Chorus:

       C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
       Dm
‘Cause I’m so sick, sick, sick, sick, sick of it all.
   Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
  F
I’m falling through the words everybody says
       C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
       Dm
‘Cause I’m so tired, tired, tired, tried, tried of it all.
   Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
F
Escapist, gonna run from my problems.
F
Cause I’d rather keep on running...

Than face them

Outro:

C Dm Am F
