(repeat 2 times for verse 3)

Verse 1:                                  
you know it tears me up inside            
to see the feelings that you hide    
hide inside that empty bottle

i wish you saw how great you were 
i wish you saw what life was worth
you wouldn't have to hide your problems

Pre-Chorus:
and i don't care what you might think
i think you've had too much to drink
can't even talk when you're this way....


guitar 1:    (guitar 2:no idea..some bunch of chords that i'll try to figure out later)

(repeat 2 times (?) throughout chorus)

Chorus:
run away, run away
but that won't make it any better
run away, run away
and make tomorrow harder to live than today

Verse 2:
there's so much out there you could miss
there's so much life out there to live
if you could just believe in yourself

you know you're better than all of this
you know you've got so much to give
but you're so afraid to give of yourself

Pre-Chorus:
and i don't care what you might think
i think you've had too much to drink
can't even talk when you're this way....

Chorus:
run away, run away
but that won't make it any better
run away, run away
and make tomorrow harder to live than today

(repeat 2 times throughout bridge but extend Am after "shine")

Bridge:
there's a bright light shining inside you
shines out through your eyes
don't throw it away, don't be afraid, don't hide
let it shine

Verse 3:
you say you're looking for happiness
but when it comes, you run away from it
you tell yourself you don't deserve it

there's not much more that i can do
now the rest is up to you
until you love yourself
you'll never change

Chorus:
run away, run away
but that won't make it any better
run away, run away
and make tomorrow harder to live than today

run away, run away
but that won't make it any better
run away, run away
you'll keep on running until you deal with today
