Capo 3 
 
 
    G    C                   D                G 
Hey you, don't you think you owe me more than that 
G            C                   Em  
How can I convince you, when you turn your back 
     C                                  D     C  D  
that I'm not going to hurt, leave, or betray 
G        C               D            G 
Hey you, what's this argument really about  
C             D                Em    
Are you terrified that we will not work out 
    C                               D   C   D 
and determined to destroy it right away 
      Em                   C 
Well, no, there's no guarantee 
Em                                 D 
that the love we feel right now is meant to be 
Em                         C 
but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy 
       D         
if you give up before it's underway 
 
 
Chorus: 
              G  G/F#   Em  C 
So don't just ru-u-u-n away 
     G   G/F#  Em  C 
Run away 
           G  G/F#   Em  C 
Don't just ru-u-u-n away 
     G   G/F#  Em   C 
Run away 
D                               C             D                 G 
You haven't even heard what I'm going to say, please don't run away 
C          D    G 
Don't just run away 
 
 
Sit down, start at the beginning with your fears 
How can I begin to ease them if I never hear 
your complicated history replayed 
Sit down, all you have to be is yourself 
If you don't like it here, we'll just go somewhere else 
I know this great little Italian place 
But you'll have to choose 
This is all a gamble and it's possible to lose 
But if you don't light the time bomb's multicolored fuse 
It'll tick on down to zero and seal our fate 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
D                                Em  
I know you've got your instincts to obey 
D                              Em 
I know you're screaming at you not to stay 
              Am       C                                D 
but if I were you, I'd think about the choice I'm gonna make 
 
Chorus
