     C      Eb Ab         Eb
Some-times, I  feel, I've got to,
C  Eb     Ab        Eb
    Run a-way, I've got to,
C  Eb     Ab            Eb
    Get a-way, from the pain,
         C              Eb       G
That you drive into the heart of me.

Verse 2:

The love we share, seems to,
C  Eb    Ab     Eb
   Go no-where, and I've,
C     Eb Ab     Eb
 Lost my light, for I,
C                       Eb       G
 Toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.

 Once I ran to you, (I ran),

 Now I'll run from you, (now I run).

 This tainted love you've given;
F

Take my tears and that's not nearly all...

 Now I  know, I've got to,

    Run a-way, I've got to,
C  Eb     Ab   Eb
    Get a-way, you don't,

 Really want any love from me.

Verse 4:

   C    Eb     Ab         Eb
To make things right, you need,
     C      Eb       Ab     Eb
Some-one to hold you tight, and you'll,
C           Eb    Ab    Eb
 Think love is to play, but,
    C              Eb        G
I'm sorry; I don't pray that way.

 Once I ran to you, (I ran),

 Stand the way you tease.

I love you, though you hurt me so,
Eb    C              Eb         G
 If I do not pack my things and go.
