[Verse 2]
Bb
I wish you the best but

I'm not interested
F
In giving you more of my life,
 I've already given
you too much
C

 I don't wanna keep ya

 treating me like I'm
          F
less than you

Tell the truth, you know
 I'll be better without ya
             C
Been in your shoes,

 I love you but not
  Bb
Enough to allow you to
continue to drown
 the both of us
       F
You're holding me back,
 you're pulling me down

You're making me hate myself,
    C
 I don't wanna leave,
but that's what I need

I ain't got a choice,
 I can't just
Dm
Let you deceive and make me
believe that I don't
deserve to be loved
  Bb
I am not gonna stand aside
 and watch you attempt to
                   F
 rob and steal and sabotage
What little faith I have left,
yeah, haven't I sacrificed
    C
 enough for you?
Hate seeing you cry but I think
 it's time to let go and
              Dm
say our goodbyes

Yeah, I'm gonna miss you
but I'm not gonna spend
 the rest of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
             F
Running from you
C
Spent my whole life
               Dm
in your shadow, scared

Of who I'd be if I

Said goodbye and I didn't
 have you here

[Chorus]

I wish you well but I
              F
Can no longer stand this, I
                C
Can't watch you sabotage
            Dm
 the two of us
              Bb
I love you to death but I
                F
Can't spend the rest of my
             C             Dm

How to play Running: key, chords and progression

These are Running chords by NF on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Running by NF sits in D minor (one flat: B♭), and you need 5 chords to play it: Bb, F, C, Dm and D.

Listen for Bb – F – C – Dm (VI – III – VII – i in D minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes F, C, G, Am, A (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
