New Constellations Notes: All tabs are my own work; I did not refer to existing versions unless they were my own. I have sometimes (in Runaway and New Constellations especially) substituted in chords when chords are unclear or nonexistent–in those cases it is simply my interpretation and you can feel free to play it how you want. However, I have taken pains to make sure that my substituted chords fit the song as best as possible.
1. RUNAWAY
Intro:
C# A#m F#
C#
If it takes two, I'm betting on you
F# F#sus2
To hold me tight when tides are high
C#
What'll you do while I'm waiting on you
F# F#sus2
To dry these tears you made me cry?
Verse 1:
C#m
Feet colder than the snow that choked the city, mmm
C#m
My wings too wild to clip and cage around me
C#m
So maybe I'm selfish for being an actor
C#m
Pretending to gather when I am a hunter
C#m
Or maybe I'm wicked for eating the apple
F#5
Or maybe I'm hungry for more than I've got
F#5
All I know is that I've got to
Chorus:
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
F#5
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (oh!)
Verse 2:
C#m
They tell me temper, temper, little lady
C#m
Better bite that tongue, it is not becoming
C#m
My blood boils rapids to break the levy
C#m
And let it keep on running, running
C#m
And maybe I'm crazy for claiming my freedom
C#m
For loving and leaving, I secretly hear them
C#m
It could be so simple, I've broken the thimble
F#5
Equipped with a map and a guide to decide
F#5
All I know is that I've got to
Chorus:
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
F#5
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (oh!)
B-section:
C#m
Now you know me
C#m
And I don't know myself
C#m
Better lose me now
F#5
Before I lose myself
C#m
No, you don't love me
C#m
And I don't love myself
C#m
Better lose me now
F#5
Before I lose myself
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
F#5
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
Chorus:
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (run, run, run)
F#5
Runaway (run, run, run)
C#m
Runaway (oh!)
B-section:
C#m
Now you know me
C#m
And I don't know myself
C#m
Better lose me now
F#5
Before I lose myself
C#m
No, you don't love me
C#m
And I don't love myself
C#m
Better lose me now
F#5
Before I lose myself
Outro:
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
F#5
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
