Verse

 I don't want you to give it all up

 Leave your own life collecting dust

I don't want you to feel sorry for me

You never gave us a chance to be

And I don't need you to be by my side

To tell me that everything's alright

I just wanted you to tell me the truth

You know I'd do that for you

Chorus

 So why are you running away

So why are you running away

Verse 2

Am, G, F -repeat verse 1 [the strumming might be a little different here]

Cause I did enough to show you that i

was willing to give and sacrifice1

And I was the one who was lifting you up

when you thought your life had had enough

and when i get close you turn away

theres nothing that i can do or say

so now i need you to tell me the truth

you know i'd do that for you

Chorus

 So why are you running away

So why are you running away

Bridge

(3 times)(3 times) x 3

Is it me Is it you

Nothing that I can do

to make you change your mind

is it me is it you

Nothing that I can do

is it a waste of time

 Is it me Is it you

Nothing that I can do

to make you change your mind

Noo Ohh

Chorus

 So why are you running away

So why are you running away

So why are you running away

So why are you running away

So why are you running awayyyy~
