Intro:  F|  Am|  G| C5  
FI've been running, running, run.
AmI've been running, rGunning, rC5un.
FI've been running, running, run.
AmI've been running, rGunning, rC5un.
Verse:
                                                                F   Am|  G| C  
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools?
                                                    F   Am|  G  
'Cause I just wanna be at the start of after loving you.
            C                                       F                        Am   G| C  
I plant my feet and I clench my teeth, I can't outrun what's coming after me.
                                                                 F   Am|  G| 
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools?
Chorus:
But I seCe a lighthouse in the distance calling my nFame,
but I can't Amget there 'til I go through all of this paiFn.
There's a glCimmer of hope like an exhale of smoke in the skFy,
and sometimAmes you drain out on the shit that used to feel rFight, empty swimming pools.
Reprise:
FI've been running, running, run.
AmI've been running, rGunning, rC5un.
FI've been running, running, run.
AmI've been running, rGunning, rC5un.
Verse 2:
                                                                F   Am|  G| C  
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools?
                                                      F   Am|  G  
Tell me how I'm gonna feel less secure when I look at you?
             C                                       F                  Am   G| C  
So I close my eyes and just visualize the greener skies on the other side,
                                                                F   Am|  G| 
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools?
Chorus:
But I seCe a lighthouse in the distance calling my nFame,
but I can't Amget there 'til I go through all of this paiFn.
There's a glCimmer of hope like an exhale of smoke in the skFy,
and sometimAmes you drain out on the shit that used to feel rFight.
Empty swimming poCols, empty swimming poFols.
Empty swimming poAmols, empty swimming poFols.
Reprise:
