[Verse 1]
                  Bb
Sayin' I'll come back
              F      Eb
Might make it easier to leave
            Bb
Need to run free for a while
            F     Eb
I need some time to breathe
      Gm    F  Eb
I see years go by
       Gm     F     Eb
And it scares me sometimes
       Bb
I'm so afraid to live wrong
           F       Eb
And end up being on my own

Cm                       F
What do you do when you love someone
             Gm                
But feel like you can't go on, 
    Eb
no, you can't go on?
Cm                       F
What do you do when you love so hard
               Gm               
That you just, you float apart, 
          Eb                    F
and you're falling apart inside?

[Verse 2]
         Bb
Maybe I ain't
   F             Eb
Someone I used to be
          Bb
And babe, something's changed
       F              Eb
In the way you look at me, 
yeah, yeah
                  Gm  F   Eb
There's something in your eyes
         Gm     F    Eb
You seem unsure somehow
          Bb
And so do I
    F             Eb
But I could never lie to you, no
     F
No, I don't wanna lie

    Bb                   F      Eb
And I, I've been running all my life
                   Cm
And I could go for miles and 
miles and miles

I could go for miles and 
          Eb
miles and miles
                            Bb
And I could keep on telling lies
                      F    Eb
Say everything's gon' be alright
                 F       
But I think it's fair to 
    Cm

              Gm               F
I think it's fair to say we've tried
