     Am                                                                       Fm

1. Sometimes it's the night and the way it seems to cry

                                                                Am

    and whisper terrifying secrets in your ear.

     Am                                                                      Fm 

    Sometimes it's the day and the sun has got no mercy,

                                                   Am

    lighting up and burning everything that's in its way.

 

                                               Em                            Bm

    There are times I've got to run, times I've got to hide,

                                Em                              Bm

    things I've left undone, things I've cast aside,

                                F#m                             Em

    so many things to try, so many things denied,

                  F

    If I ever tell you the truth, I swear you will leave me,

    G

    I need the proof that you would believe me.

 

   C            Am            F                    G

You think I fly like an angel without any tears,

 C              Am          F                           G

higher and higher above the world and all its fears.

  C                Am                    F                    G

We always seem so much braver than we ever are,

 C                Am                       F                    G

we always dream, we seem braver, but we never are.

         C

Let's run away, let's go so far.

 

                     Am          G             C

2. There are secrets I never can tell,

                      Em            Dm              Am

    there are shadows of darkness in heaven

                     Am          G               C

    There are so many suburbs of hell

                     Em          Dm            Am

    and their hours are twenty-four seven.

 

                    Em                                       Bm

    There are so many wounds you can't heal,

                   Em                                     Bm

    so many nightmares are turning too real,

                       F#m                             Em

    so much of paradise lost, and you add up the cost,

                        F

    But there's nothing to be sorry for, now we can feel so much more,

      G

    now we can do something new, nothing that we're scared to do.

 

        C               Am                     F                    G

And we always seem so much braver than we ever are,

 C                Am                       F                    G

we always dream, we seem braver, but we never are.

          C

Let's run away, let's go so far.

 

   C                                                Am                                               F

3.    Say a prayer for those who crawl, say a prayer for those who run,

                                          Am                                       F

       F                                                  G                                          C

    We're crusaders of the heart and going all the way is just the start.

    There's no such thing as too far,         I've got to be where you are,
