B               E 
Hole in my heart I couldn't change 
B               E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B               E 
Stuck in the fire, turn in the grave 
B               E 
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face 
 
B               E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B               E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B   E          B 
     Now I want to 
B   E               B 
     Yeah, I want to now 
 
B       E 
I don't care to explain 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B       E 
To be fair, I should say 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
 
Riff 
 
B            E 
Standing alone all for the road 
B             E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B            E 
Creature is safe here in my veins 
B                 E 
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face 
 
B          E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B          E 
I didn't know what was supposed to 
B   E 
    But I don't want to 
B   E 
    Yeah, I want to now 
 
B        E 
I don't care to explain 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B      E 
To be fair, I should say 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B           E 
Ghosts were killing all the way 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B       E 
To be fair, I should say 
B 
Why you running away, why you running away 
E 
Keep on ruinning 
 
B                   E               B               E 
I've been stuck in line all those dirty rotten times 
               B                E 
They've got time, time is gonna pass 
             B                 E 
Hope these burning ears won't last 
          B            E                B                  E 
Sometimes I'm stuck in lies, all those stinky, twisted times 
             B                    E 
But I've got time, time is gonna pass 
              B                   E 
I hope these burning ears won't last 
 
B        E 
I don't care to explain 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B       E 
To be fair, I should say 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B           E 
Ghosts were killing all the way 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B        E 
I don't care to explain 
B                     E 
Why you running away, why you running away 
B                     E 
Why you running away, keep on running away 
 
Riff 
 
B            E 
Hole in my heart I couldn't change 
B          E 
I didn't know what was supposed to
