[Verse]
B
I ran from my house that cannot contain me
B
From the man that I cannot keep
B
From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone
B
From my daughter that never sleeps
[Chorus]
C#m A F#
I ran from the noise and the silence
B A B A
From the traffic on the streets
B A
B A
[Verse]
B
I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky
B
Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair
B
And soaked my shoes and skin
B
Hid my tears, hid my fears
[Chorus]
C#m A F#
B A B A
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
B A B A
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
[Verse]
B A B E/G#
I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
B A B E/G#
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
B A B E/G#
Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
B A B E/G# B A B E/G#
And held my breath, and thought about your death
B A B E/G#
I ran to the lake, up into the hills
B A B E/G#
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
B A B E/G#
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
[Chorus]
C#m A F#
All forgotten names
B A B A
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
B A B A
I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears
[Bridge]
B A B E/G#
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
B A B E/G#
And the earth took me in her arms
B A
Leaves covered my face
B A
Ants marched across my back
B A B E/G#
Black sky opened up, blinding me
[Chorus]
C#m A F#
B A B A
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
B A B A
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
B A B A
I ran to the lakes and up to the hill
B A B A
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
[Outro]
N.C.
And I smelled her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away
