Intro
Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
Bm* (*7x7700)   G  Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
Fatal velocity,      comes on with a rush
Bm* (*7x7700)    G  Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
Overpowering,      gives the final push
CWhat never movesBm, is never still
CWho has the finEmal word
CIt holds the world Bmin a single pill
CAnd all life rendered Dabsurd
Emsus4 Em (7th fret)
Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial
C (8th fret) D
But can you run all your life
Emsus4 Em (7th fret)
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar
 C(8th fret)  Bm  G  
You can run but not hide
Emsus4 Em (7th fret)
So run for your life
Bm* (*7x7700)       G  Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
A false sincerity,      a liar and a thief
Bm* (*7x7700)       G  Bm* (*7x7700)  G  
My pulse and memory,    a comfort within grief
CWhat never movesBm, is never still
CWho has the finEmal word
CIt holds the worBmld in a single pill
CAnd all life rendered Dabsurd
Emsus4 Em(7th fret)
Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial
C (8th fret) D
But can you run all your life
Emsus4 Em (7th fret)
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar
 C(8th fret)  Bm  G  
You can run but not hide
AmGiven into this sensaBmtion, feel I've run too far
AmCannot see beyond eBmmotion, see what the options are
             AmBm[/ch                     C  D  
With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I'm losing all control
Emsus4 Em (7th fret)
Kill sweet desire? etc
