Intro (x2): C  Dm  Am  F
 
Verse 1:
C                    Dm
I think too much, no lie
                        Am
It ain’t easy when your brain is wired this way,
F
But I can’t complain.
        C                                 Dm
Cause I know that I could control it if I tried.
          Am                                F
But right now, I don’t have the energy, the time.
 
Pre-chorus:
C
Watching my problems pile up into something,
     Dm
That it really shouldn’t be.
Am
Up until now I’ve been underestimating,
    F
How bad all this would lead.
C
Maybe I’m just scared of growing up and
  Dm
Becoming something that I’m not.
   Am                           F
Or maybe this is all because of me.
 
Chorus:
             C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
              Dm
‘Cause I’m so sick, sick, sick, sick, sick of it all.
      Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
    F
I’m falling through the words everybody says
             C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
              Dm
‘Cause I’m so tired, tired, tired, tired, tired of it all.
      Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
F
Escapist, gonna run from my problems.
F
Cause I’d rather keep on running than face them
 
Interlude: C  Dm  Am  F
 
Verse 2:
C                         Dm
I waste too much time, no lie.
                          Am
It’s not easy when you’ve got little motivation.
F
It’s pretty complicated.
      C                        Dm
And I know, I should give it a go.
                      Am
But what if things go wrong
               F
What will I do then?
 
Pre-chorus:
C
Watching my problems pile up into something,
     Dm
That it really shouldn’t be.
Am
Up until now I’ve been underestimating,
    F
How bad all this would lead.
C

  Dm
Becoming something that I’m not.
   Am                           F

As usual...
 
Chorus:
             C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
              Dm
‘Cause I’m so sick, sick, sick, sick, sick of it all.
      Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
    F
I’m falling through the words everybody says
             C
So I’m gonna run, run, run, run, run from it all,
              Dm
‘Cause I’m so tired, tired, tired, tried, tried of it all.
      Am
Being so unnecessary, Oh, somebody help me
F
Escapist, gonna run from my problems.
F
Cause I’d rather keep on running...
 
Than face them
