[Verse 1]
 
C               G
    I can still remember,
                        Am
The words and what they meant,
                             F
As we etched them with our fingers,
                  C
In years of wet cement.
 
                       G
Days blurred into each other,
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear,
                      F
We cruised along at half speed,
                         Am
But then we shifted gears.
 
            F               C                Dm   Am
We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns!
         F                   G
But even then we should have stayed...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Am      F
But we ran away,
    C                  G
Now all my friends are gone.
Am               F                C                   G
Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
    Am   F
Ran away,
     C              G
What are we running from?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                 G
    Identities assume us,
                     Am
As nine and five add up,
              F
Synchronising watches,
                           C
To the seconds that we lost.
 
                    G
And I looked up and saw you,
                    Am
I know that you saw me,
                   F
We froze but for a moment,
             Am
In empathy...
 
                      F           C               Dm   Am
I bought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
            F           G
You gave my emptiness a name...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            Am   F
And you ran away,
    C                  G
Now all my friends are gone,
Am             F             C                   G
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.
     Am     F
Ran away-ee-ayy,
     C              G
What are we running from?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one?
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone?

[Bridge]
 
Am    F   C                 Am  F     G
  We're all okay, until the day we're not.
Am      F     C                 Am F   G
  The surface shines, while the inside rots.
Am   F         C              Am  F  G
  We raced the sunset, and we almost won.
Am   F           C               Am     F    G  Am
  We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went oooon...

  Well maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved.

Ran away,

What are we running from?

the "D" chord doesn't sound quite right... I think it's just supposed to be another G on the part that goes "I brought down the sky from you but all you did was shrug" otherwise, terrific tab.

I really like this tab, but i think the lyrics at the part "You gave my emptiness away" is actually "You gave my emptiness a name", normally i wouldent care, but in this case it some kind of influences the meaning of the lyrics.

This is a pretty good tab. It makes it so this song can be played acoustically. Nice job!
