[Verse 1]
E                  G
Echos of the words roll in
     D                     
No I can't remember the last 
                 A
time I heard a thing
E                 G
Poison underneath my skin
     D                      
No I can't remember the last 
                  A
time I looked so thin
E                       G
I bite my tongue between my teeth
        D                 
And the blood will run and 
                     A
drip down beside my cheek
E                G
My mother always knew me best
          D               
Yeah, she always tried to
                   A
 push me beyond the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
E                               
Keep on trying to move forwards,
   G
 I never wanna go back
D                         
I won't ever let no one try 
     A
to beat me like that
E                        
I'm not bitter and broken,
  G
 I'm just torn up inside
D                           
Scream in truth or be spoken, 
        A             E D C#m
can't hold me inside

[Chorus]
E              G            D
Run, greyhound run, run run run
          A
Greyhound run (run run run run)
E              G            D
Run, greyhound run, run run run
          A
Greyhound run (run run run run)
E
Run out the rabbit
             D    A
It stings my teeth

Run out the rabbit
             D    A
It stings my teeth

[Verse 2]
E                     G
Summer's of a haunting glow
      D                 
Oh it seems that I'm the
                    A
 last one to let it go
E               G
If I ever loved again
     D                     A
Oh I swear I won't pretend 
E                   G
Tiny broken parts of me
D                     
Blistered broken glass 
               A
underneath my feet
E                        G
And how I was I supposed to know
D                      
No man should reach for 
                        A
something he can't let go
