Intro:

Chris: "One, two, three, Will." (drum intro)

A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7

Note: There is no acoustic guitar in this song but I add them. For all
      verses the electric guitar will play the same as the intro. Just
      listen to the song for the timing.
      

Verse 1:

C       Am9
I ran away from you,

Am9              C
That's all I ever do,

C                 Am9
And though I started here,

Am9            C
I ran away from you,

C              Am9
I'm gonna come on in,

Am9       C
And see it through,

Verse 2:

C            Am9
I ran away from you,

Am9              C
That's all I ever do,

C                 Am9
And when I heard you call,

Am9          C
"Come back to me",

C            Am9
I know I should stay,

Am9                     C
I don't have the stomach to,

Note: Dmin7 is an additional chords since this song use Cmaj as a
      family chord. So playing Dmin7 might sounds a bit funny. So take
      note that in bass guitar you'll have to play it as B in the 2nd
      last line when you catch the Dmin7. So it could be Dmin7/B too.

Chorus:

C G
Everyone I know says,

      F              Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,

C G
Everyone I know says,

       F            Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,

C        G
I have your love on call,

           F      Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,

      F                     Dmin7
There might be nothing left to do,

     F          Dmin7 C
So I ran away from you,

A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7

Verse 3:

C              Am9
I'm gonna come on in,

Am9        C
My eyes are closed,

C          Am9
I can feel it there,

Am9         C
The sun's so close,

C              Am9
I'm gonna come on out,

Am9         C
And burn the sky,

Riff:

F         Am9
A star arose in my own cage,

F         Am9
I'm stuck in life and in a cage,

F          G
Just a single star,

       Am9
I sing for,

Note: Same as the first chorus.

Chorus:

C G
Everyone I know says,

      F              Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,

C G
Everyone I know says,

       F            Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,

C        G
I have your love on call,

           F      Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,

      F                 Dmin7
And I did not know what to do,

     F          Dmin7 C
So I ran away from you,

Note: The guitar tabs that you see below is the piano stuff. Others is
      just the electric guitar. The 2nd last note of every bar is
      Eaug5 in the first 3 bars. So, that Eaug5 in that 2nd last note
      just strum it one time only. Yeah, you would need to do some
      pulls too. Listen to the song again to understand this part.
