[Verse 1]
A
 I get lost in
the memory
C#m
 No matter how
           E
hard I try
            E
Wish that I could
explain it
How you're painted
          Amaj7
on my mind
Amaj7
I've been thinking
 about it
C#m
 How it felt like
you're miles away
B
 For as long as
I had you
          E
I could never make
 you stay


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
 Tired of overthinking
C#m
 How did I get so
caught up
E
In what was never
            B
 meant for me?


[Chorus]
       A
I keep running 'round
   E
in circles
          C#m
Trying to dance around
    B
the pain
       A
I've rewritten all our
E
moments
         C#m
But they always feel
     B
 the same
           A
And no I'm not afraid
   E
of closure
        C#m
But I'm scared to
      B
walk away
          A
So I keep running
'round
   E
in circles
         C#m
Over and over again
  B
until
you're just a name

[Verse 2]
A
 Tell me how do you
 do it?
C#m
 Make it all seem
         B
so bеautiful
B
When you're giving
me nothing
      E
But I still had to
        F#m
losе it all

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
Tired of overthinking
C#m
 How did I get so
 caught up
E
In what was never
           B
meant for me?


[Chorus]
       A
I keep running 'round
   E
in circles
          C#m
Trying to dance around
    B
the pain
       A
I've rewritten all our
E
moments
         C#m
But they always feel
    B
the same
           A
And no I'm not afraid
   E
of closure
        C#m
But I'm scared to
       B
 walk away
          A
So I keep running
 'round
   E
in circles
         C#m
Over and over again
until
 you're just a name


[Bridge]
F#m    A
All my bruises feel
 so
 C#m
 useless when this
B
pain won't fade away
F#m     A
 Tell myself I'm okay
C#m
losing you until
B
I feel that way

[Out-Chorus]
       A
I keep running
'round
   E
in circles
          C#m
Trying to dance
 around
     B
 the pain
       A
I've rewritten all
    E
our moments
         C#m
But they always
feel
    B
the same
           A
And no I'm not
   E
of closure
        C#m
But I'm scared to
      B
walk away
          A
So I keep running
'round
   E
in circles
         C#m
Over and over again
  B
until you're just
 a name
