intro: D5 B5 x2
verse 1: 
                 D5             
 Subjects are thrown around the room
           B5                        D5  B5
 Looking for the ones that got away
               D5
 A feeling of soft anticipation
       B5                      D5      B5   
 Another confrontation I won't make
         D5          B5
 But how do we do it
              D5                 B5
 We turned into something else entirely
    D5        B5
 We fake it
       D5              B5                   G5 (then strike D5 once)   
 But I wanted it so desperately to be real

Chorus 1:
 G5                                 E5                 
 Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
 D5                                A5
 Hold now, as I walk away, you're the one that finds me out
 E5                             G5
 Run from the only thing left that I hold close
         D5
 I'll be letting you in
                 B5                            D5
 You've got the feeling you've been followed under your skin
                 B5                         D5       B5   D5  B5
 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: B5 A5 G5 A5
B5         A5                      G5    A5 
Run, run, what are you running from?
               B5             A5 
Let all your small steps expose your secrets.
G5                    A5
You don't have to speak for me to believe it.
E5  F#5                G5        A5      
     But what do you mean?

Chorus:
G5
Shaken and faint, you've got the feeling
                     E5
you've been followed under your skin.

It will be weighing on your shoulder.
D5
You've got that seed in you.
A5
You've got that seed in
E5
I'm letting you in.

You've got the feeling you've been followed.
G5                             D(1) G5     E5
Are you listening to anything I've said?
D5                            A5
You've got that seed in you.

G5
Shaken and faint, it was the hardest thing to swallow.
E5
Pretending you don't miss me.
D5
You've got that seed in you.
A5
You've got that seed in

G5
While letting you in, I'll be thinking about tomorrow.
E5
And every time we cross those lines.
D5
You've got that seed in you.
A5
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.
