E           A 
If I ran so far 
        F#                B  
That my life can't follow me 
E                 A 
Would it keep the world  
            F#        B 
>From up and swallowing me 
A                   B                 E               A 
There's so much to weigh me down that I can't hardly breathe 
C#m                 F# 
And I don't want to think about it  
C#m                   F# 
But I don't want this pain to last 
    E  B          C#m 
And I  I'm fading fast 
E                A 
If I didn't look back  
      F#         B 
And I changed my name  
E               A        F#          B 
Would I find my new life exactly the same 
A                 B                 E          A 
I'm looking at an empty future that I already blame 
C#m                 F# 
And I don't want to think about it  
C#m                   F# 
But I don't want this pain to last 
    E  B          C#m 
And I  I'm fading fast 
A 
I've put it all behind me  
A 
Just to have it one day find me  
A                              B 
And now I'm just this far from gone 
 
Solo  
 
A                  B             E                 A 
And so I'm leaving here on every cent that I could borrow 
A                    F#            B 
Lord only knows just where I'll be tomorrow 
    C#m              F# 
And I don't want to think about it  
    C#m               F# 
But I don't want this pain to last 
    E     B  
And I I'm fading  
C#m             F# 
I don't want to think about it  
      C#m             F# 
But I don't want this pain to last 
    E B   C#m    F# 
And I I'm fading fast  
    E  B   C#m    F#          C#m F#  A E 
Yea I  I'm fading fast
