So what'd you think I would say?
                  B                      Db
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
   Ebm                        Db/F
So what did you think I would say?

Gb                                        B
  The way you fly shy Of almost everything
Gb                    Abm                         xD#mx--Db--

  I put my faith in you, so much faith
         B        Db        Gb  Db
And then you just threw it away

Bridge - bass -:
You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
                                    Gb - hold -
Fight with your bare hands about it now


Bridge -play Riff below-:
at "Why don't you stop...", your
fingers must be VERY FAST in this part
Josh Farro did a SEMI SWEEPING here,
it's difficult at first but once you
master this part, it's easy as 1,2,3.
