Tessa Violet - Runaway

      [Verse 1]

C               F               C
I was born come on the break of spring
C            F            C
mama told me I got joy to bring
    Am              F            C
but I got something buried in my soul
G            F                 C
nothing ever seemed to make me whole

C           F                    C
I got on my knees and learned to pray
C                  F               Am
God, if you're the one then I will stay
F                            C
but I was given wings to fly away
G                 F           C
I keep my word as long as I'm okay


[Chorus]

                   Am                      F
so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
                  C                                      G
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
                 Am                         F
and I don't understand why I should get the chance
                      C                               G
while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
                              C
when I can't earn this plan


[Verse 2]

  C                F             C
I wish that I were better at goodbyes
  C                  F               C
I don't connect with what would make you cry
  Am                      F               C
I guess there's something different in my head
    G              F             C
but I'll pretend I understand instead

     C              F               C
You think I found a place where i belong
    C                F               Am
but nothing keeps me rooted here for long
    F                           C
I'd rather travel to a stranger place
     G             F          C
then recognized as a familiar face


[Chorus]

                   Am                      F
so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
                  C                                      G
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
                 Am                         F
and I don't understand why I should get the chance
                      C                               G
while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
                       Am     
when I can't earn this plan


[Bridge]

       F
I I I I
                       C
When I can't earn this plan
        G
I I I-I
                  Am
And I don't understand
        F
I I I-I
                      C
Why I should get this chance
       G Am
I I I-I 


[Verse 3]

C             F              C
I'm afraid of running out of days
F            F              Am
tell me everything will be okay
F                         C
I think I am better on my own
    G          F            C
but mama I'm afraid to die alone
