[Verse 1]
G#m C#m7 D#m7
I heard from a couple friends that you’re back with your ex again
G#m C#m7 D#m7
But I know there’s no way after everything you said ’bout him

[Pre-chorus]
G#m
Baby you were lying, baby you were trying
C#m7 D#m7
To cover it up, to forget of our love
G#m
Now you’re going backwards, please don’t call me after
C#m7 D#m7
When you finaly wake up, to forget about love

[Chorus]
G#m
So go ahead and run, run, run
C#m7 D#m7
Back to who you were running from
G#m
Just make sure you don’t run back to
C#m7 D#m7
Me when you’re done
G#m
Got a handful of sleeping pills, a phone full of no one real
C#m7 D#m7
This is all too much to deal, oh oh

Back to who you were running from

[Verse 2]
G#m C#m7 D#m7
It was like something switched, we were fine and overnight you flipped
G#m C#m7
Your family and all your friends on my side, face it, they were in,
D#m7
I was in

[Bridge]
G#m
You can’t keep running and running
G#m
Every time a little something
C#m7 D#m7
Stresses you out
G#m
‘Cause you’ll be running forever
G#m
Maybe it’s all for the better
C#m7 D#m7
I figured you out
G#m
You can’t keep running and running
G#m
Every time a little something
C#m7 D#m7
Stresses you out
G#m
‘Cause you’ll be running forever
G#m
Maybe it’s all for the better
C#m7 D#m7
I figured you out

How to play Run: key, chords and progression

Run by LANY is centred on C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 3 chords: G#m, C#m7 and D#m7.

The backbone of the song is G#m – C#m7 – D#m7 – G#m (v – i7 – ii7 – v in C♯ minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Em, Am7, Bm7 (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
