intro: D B x2
verse 1: 
                 D             
 Subjects are thrown around the room
           B                        D  B
 Looking for the ones that got away
               D
 A feeling of soft anticipation
       B                      D      B   
 Another confrontation I won't make
         D          B
 But how do we do it
              D                 B
 We turned into something else entirely
    D        B
 We fake it
       D              B                   G (then strike D once)   
 But I wanted it so desperately to be real

Chorus 1:
 G                                 Em                 
 Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
 D                                A
 Hold now, as I walk away, you're the one that finds me out
 Em                             G
 Run from the only thing left that I hold close
         D
 I'll be letting you in
                 B                            D
 You've got the feeling you've been followed under your skin
                 B                         D       B   D  B
 It will be weighing on your shoulder, believe it.

verse 2 (same as first verse) 
If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way
I'd capture the phrases inside the cage beneath my chest
And keep it locked for days
I wanted you so desperately to believe me

chorus 2 ( same as first chorus)
Run, run, why are you running from another conversation?
Someone that I've been planning on, you're the one that finds me out.
There's nowhere, now I found you, that I won't go.
I'm always letting you in.
You've got the feeling you've been followed under your skin.
It will be weighing on your shoulder.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in you.

Bridge: B A G A
B         A                      G    A 
Run, run, what are you running from?
               B             A 
Let all your small steps expose your secrets.
G                    A
You don't have to speak for me to believe it.
Em  F#                G        A      
     But what do you mean?

Chorus:
G
Shaken and faint, you've got the feeling
                     Em
you've been followed under your skin.

It will be weighing on your shoulder.
D
You've got that seed in you.
A
You've got that seed in
Em
I'm letting you in.

You've got the feeling you've been followed.
G                             D(1) G     Em
Are you listening to anything I've said?
D                            A
You've got that seed in you.

G
Shaken and faint, it was the hardest thing to swallow.
Em
Pretending you don't miss me.
D
You've got that seed in you.
A
You've got that seed in

G
While letting you in, I'll be thinking about tomorrow.
Em
And every time we cross those lines.
D
You've got that seed in you.
A
You've got that seed in
Em                           G               A(1)D(1) --strum those once 
Oh no, as I walk away, everyone had found me out.       to end it.
