am on the run

having your choices made

Waiting while all of your
C
memory fades
F
I don't have lights in my
GC
eyes, but I've got one
[Pre-Chorus]Am
When the world turns to
F
stone and I'm
C
standing on my own
AmF
I will open my eyes and
C
you'll be gone
Am
My brother wont call
F
for me
C
And your anger is
all I can see
AmF
Feeling like I can't
C
carry on

Oh, my head
CAm
Where are these so

called "friends"

Throw my body against

the ocean waves

And try not to forget
my name

My father can't hear

my voice
C
And mother has lost
her choice

Where do these tired
C
all belong?
