Verse 1

Am Em F
I don't want you to give it all up and leave your own life
Am Em
collecting dust. And I don't want you to feel sorry for me. You
F~ Am Em
never gave us a chance to be. And I don't need you to be by my side
F Am
to tell me that everything's alright. I just wanted you to tell me
Em F
the truth. You know I'd do that for you.

Verse 2

Am Em F
Cause I did enough to show you that I was willing to give and
Am Em
sacrifice. And I was the one who was lifting you up when you
F Am
thought your life had had enough. And when I get close you turn
Em F Am
away. There's nothing that I can do or say. So now I need you to
Em F
tell me the truth. You know I'd do that for you.

Chorus

A5 B5 C5 E5 F5 C5 G5
So why are you running away?
A5 E5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5
Why are you running away?

Am Em Am
Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do to make you change your

mind. Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do. Is it a waste

of time?

Chorus

A5 B5 C5 E5 F5 C5 G5
So why are you running away? (To make you admit you're afraid)
A5 E5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5
Why are you running away?
