Em G D Am

Em                   G            D
    With the shape of days to come,
    Am                F             C       D    Em
Why shoulder off the crowd, why be the only one
Em                                     G      D
     You called it off, you said its lack of life
       Am              F          C       D         Em
What a way to cut the air, what a way to spend your night

C           G        D             Am                C
    All along, all along, your intention was to run
              G               D
You couldn't be somebody else
    Am                C
You longed to be someone,
            G              D            Am             C
 All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up
                  G               D             Am              C
You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone

Em G D Am

Em                       G         D
      Moving foward into awkward light
     Am                   F
Ashamed of what you are
      C           D         Em
At peace 'cause you're all right
Em                              G        D
 Long live redemption, live it hard and well
      Am               F
We raise our glass to you
C        D    Em
From us all 'Farewell'

C           G        D             Am                C
    All along, all along, your intention was to run

You longed to be someone,
            G              D            Am             C
 All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up
                  G               D             Am              C
You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone

C               G
   All for a better life
Em                 G        D
It's a bleak and black and white
C            G
   All for a closing line
Em           G             D
We watched a life pass by

C           G        D             Am                C
    All along, all along, your intention was to run
              G               D
You couldn't be somebody else
    Am                C
You longed to be someone,                                      (x3)
            G              D            Am             C
 All your colours running off, and you feel it giving up
                  G               D             Am              C
You couldn't be somebody else when the miracle came undone
