Cmaj7 Am
I ran away from you,

And when I heard you call,

"Come back to me",
 
Cmaj7 Am
I know I should stay,
 
Am Cmaj7
I don't have the stomach to,
 
Note: Dm7 is an additional chords since this song use Cmaj7 as a
family chord. So playing Dm7 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 Dm7. So it could be Dm7/B too.
