This is a very rough tab, and it isn't quite the same as the original song (if you watch
the music video you will notice the guitarist appears to be playing a mix of barre
chords and power chords possibly). It sounds good to me. I take no credit for this, I 
only put it into a chord sheet. Thanks to "themunkrikt" on Youtube for uploading a video 
of his
daughter playing the song!
Alternative between full strumming, and single strums of chords for effect. But most of
all... HAVE FUN!
GI can't catch up to Dyou
You've already gone too Amfar
And you don't remember
Who yCou are or who I Dam.
I Gcan't catch up with Dyou
You're way up ahead of mAme
And you're getting harder sCee
EveDryday as you run awGay.
You're cGutting lines out on a bible
Too busy dyiDng to stop and live.
You done gaAmve up on survival
You gave Call that you can gDive.
And I sure wGish you would come back home
Nothing elDse for you to prove.
I know you tAmry real hard to make your mark
But that woCrld don't love you the wDay I do.
[CHORUS]
GI can't catch up to Dyou
You've already gone too Amfar
And you don't remember
Who yCou are or who I Dam.
I Gcan't catch up with Dyou
You're way up ahead of Amme
And you're getting harder sCee
EveDryday as you run awGay.
GThere just ain't no coming down
When there aDin't no one around
And your hAmead still makes that sound
And I wCatch it drive you crDazy.
GYour mama's saying prayers
DPleading with the man upstairs
AmYou feel like no one cares
And I wCatch it drive you crDazy.
GYou run run run run hDiding from the sun
AmAnd I know you wanna turn around
CBut there's nothing I can dDo.
[Chorus]
GI can't catch up to Dyou
You've already gone too Amfar
And you don't remember
Who yCou are or who I Dam.
I Gcan't catch up with Dyou
You're way up ahead of mAme
And you're getting harder sCee
EveDryday as you run awGay.
GThese demons behind their faces
DYou know the lies they tell are true
AmYou paint yourself into a corner
CAnd you chose the color bDlue.
GAnd you look for inspiration
DIn the dark where the sickness lives
AmAnd you're stumbling over your own two feet
CAnd you're headed for the edge of a cliDff.
[Chorus]
GI can't catch up to Dyou
You've already gone too Amfar
And you don't remember
Who yCou are or who I Dam.
I Gcan't catch up with Dyou
You're way up ahead of mAme
And you're getting harder sCee
EveDryday as you run awGay.
GI watch you stumble watch you fall
DAnd I just can't seem to help at all.
AmAnd I feel... I feel like I'm wCasting my time with yDou.

And you're headed for the edge of a cliff.
