Intro:

Chris: "One, two, three, Will." (drum intro)

A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7

Note: There is no acoustic guitar in this song but I add them. For all
      verses the electric guitar will play the same as the intro. Just
      listen to the song for the timing.
      

Verse 1:

Cmaj       Amin
I ran away from you,

Amin              Cmaj
That's all I ever do,

Cmaj                 Amin
And though I started here,

Amin            Cmaj
I ran away from you,

Cmaj              Amin
I'm gonna come on in,

Amin       Cmaj
And see it through,

Verse 2:

Cmaj            Amin
I ran away from you,

Amin              Cmaj
That's all I ever do,

Cmaj                 Amin
And when I heard you call,

Amin          Cmaj
"Come back to me",

Cmaj            Amin
I know I should stay,

Amin                     Cmaj
I don't have the stomach to,

Note: Dmin7 is an additional chords since this song use Cmaj as a
      family chord. So playing Dmin7 might sounds a bit funny. So take
      note that in bass guitar you'll have to play it as B in the 2nd
      last line when you catch the Dmin7. So it could be Dmin7/B too.

Chorus:

Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,

      Fmaj              Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,

Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,

       Fmaj            Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,

Cmaj        Gmaj
I have your love on call,

           Fmaj      Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,

      Fmaj                     Dmin7
There might be nothing left to do,

     Fmaj          Dmin7 Cmaj
So I ran away from you,

A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7

Verse 3:

Cmaj              Amin
I'm gonna come on in,

Amin        Cmaj
My eyes are closed,

Cmaj          Amin
I can feel it there,

Amin         Cmaj
The sun's so close,

Cmaj              Amin
I'm gonna come on out,

Amin         Cmaj
And burn the sky,

Riff:

Fmaj         Amin
A star arose in my own cage,

Fmaj         Amin
I'm stuck in life and in a cage,

Fmaj          Gmaj
Just a single star,

       Amin
I sing for,

Note: Same as the first chorus.

Chorus:

Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,

      Fmaj              Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,

Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,

       Fmaj            Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,

Cmaj        Gmaj
I have your love on call,

           Fmaj      Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,

      Fmaj                 Dmin7
And I did not know what to do,

     Fmaj          Dmin7 Cmaj
So I ran away from you,

Note: The guitar tabs that you see below is the piano stuff. Others is
      just the electric guitar. The 2nd last note of every bar is
      Eaug5 in the first 3 bars. So, that Eaug5 in that 2nd last note
      just strum it one time only. Yeah, you would need to do some
      pulls too. Listen to the song again to understand this part.
