run away, I've got
to get away
Am
Em G C
Am
from
the pain you drive into the heart of me.
Em G C
Am
The love we share, seems to,
Em G C Am
Em G C
go nowhere. And I've
lost my light,
Am Em G
for I
toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.
Em - G
Once I ran to you, now
I run from you,

this
tainted love you've given,

I gave you all a boy could give you.
Am Em
Take my tears and that's not nearly all !

2. Now I
know, I've got to
Em G C Am - Em G C
run
away, I've got to get away,
Em C
you
don't really want any more from me.
Em C
To make things right,
Em C
you
need someone to hold you tight.
Em C
And you think love is to pray,
Em G
but
I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.

Once I ran to you, now I run from you,

so,

now
I'm going to pack my things and go.
