[Chorus]
Bm
I wanna run away
Bm7
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
G    A  G    A    G    A  G    A
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun
Bm
I'd rather run away
Bm7
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
G    A  G    A    G    A  G    A
Send me a gun and I'll see the sun
Bm
You need an instant ease
Bm7
From the life where you got plenty
G             A  G    A
Of every hurt and heartbreak
G             A  G    A
You just take it all to the face
Bm
I know that you want to cry
Bm7
But it's much more to life than dyin'
G             A  G    A
Over your past mistakes
G             A  G    A
And people who threw dirt on your name

[Verse]
Bm
Since ten, I've been feelin' lonely
Bm7
Had friends but they was pickin' on me
G                  A  G    A
Always thinkin', "Why my lips so big?"
G                  A  G    A
Was I too dark? Can they sense
my fears?
Bm
These gay thoughts would always
haunt me
Bm7
I prayed God would take it from me
G                  A    G     A
It's hard for you when you're fightin'
G                  A    G     A
And nobody knows it when you're silent
Bm
I'd be by the phone
Bm7
Stanning Nicki mornin' into dawn
G                  A    G     A
Only place I felt like I belonged
G                  A    G     A
Strangers make you feel so loved,
you know?
Bm
And I'm happy by the way
Bm7
That I made that jump,
that leap of faith
G                  A    G     A
I'm happy that it all worked out
for me
G           A     G     A
I'ma make my fans so proud of me (Oh)
