CI've (x32010@1)run to ground 
     Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)       CI've (x32010@1)run from everyone that I have ever known

Am (x02210@1)                                 GAnd (320003@1)it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for

  CI (x32010@1)saw your face 
   Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1)             F (133211@1)         CIn (x32010@1)everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes

Am (x02210@1)                                 GAnd (320003@1)it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for 
        F (133211@1)                               CAll (x32010@1)you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more

         F (133211@1)                      C (x32010@1)   GWhen (320003@1)you finally gonna ask us for help?

Am (x02210@1)                              GI (320003@1)can see you at the front gate, as you wait on my return 
    F (133211@1)                                 CThe (x32010@1)years have blurred to eons, but the tears have never dried 
            Am (x02210@1)                        GBut (320003@1)I'm not coming to you like this, so battered down and sad 
       F (133211@1)                     CI (x32010@1)will take the road forgotten again.
