Intro:            
Em              G                 Am              C  D
Em              G                 Am              C  D

            Em
Pipe down give me a cigarette
             G  
There's no use hanging on
             Am
Hanging on to a false security
              C                    D
And this mother fucker won't know I'm gone she said

             Em
In the car she was oh so serious
             G
One hug and a kiss goodbye
             Am
Look for me when you watch TV
             C                 D
And don't tell a soul if they look for me she said

G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away

              Em
By the door watch a two-page novel and
              G
Four years summed up so fast
             Am
Hope you're happy with whoever you settle with
       C                 D
And I'm so sorry that it ended like this she said

               Em
Can't believe that I'm really doing this
                G
Wish me luck but please don't call
                Am
This means more to me than you could ever know
         C                  D
And this town's got nothing left at all she said

G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away

Em                  C
And I thought that I knew everything
G                   D
(Guess I didn't know much at all)
Em       C                  G         D
In my mind I know I'd never do that again

Em                 C
All alone with a bunch of memories
G                D
(I'm living by a constant tragedy)
Em              C                G                 D        Em(let this ring)
And a bunch of pictures that I know my mind can't carry there alone


             Em
Pick me up outside the fire escape
            G
We can catch the midnight train
             Am
Sell your car, we won't need it anyway
C                           D
And if we can't walk we can always run she said

                Em
Left a note on a bad that was never made
              G
Read more like a thank you card
                Am
I know you're there if I ever need anyone
C                       D
And I'm so sorry that I let you down I said

G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B
I'm running away
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B  C6sus2/A
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B  C6sus2/A
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B  C6sus2/A
G    D     C   CM7sus2/B  C6sus2/A
Em

If you want to play what Erik plays hit the 
chord once then alternately pick the top three strings of that chord.
When he changes chord he follows the root 
note for example for his change from 
Em to G he hits 2nd fret on the 6th string and then the 3rd fret to create the 
first note of the chord.
