Quick To Run by Front Porch Step
[Intro]
G C Em C
[Verse 1]
I'm not afrGaid of the dark anymore
I'm just afrCaid that I won't find the light
I'd kill mysGelf if you promised me heaven
Cause I'm just too tCired to put up a fight
I heard your wGords when I was just a boy
So there's no excCuse for the path that I chose
When I'm on my knGees out in front of your gates
Then I won't make excCuses when that gate is closed
[Pre-Chorus]
I knEmow I don't deserve you but I cDan't do this alone
I'm so sCick of laying here on my ownD  
[Chorus]
I wish you'd carry me homeG  
Take me away from this hoCuse
I hate to say this wretched mEman
That you have made to look like you
Don't look a damn thing like you noCw
I used to smile so muchG  
But then I blocked out your soCn
I'm just another man that's brEmoken his own heart
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to ruCn
 D(hold)
I'm always quick to run 
 G(2 bars)
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna dGie in this ocean alone
I lay on my bCack and I pray that I float
I thought that I hGad the world on a string
But now the whole woCrld wants me hung from a rope
[Pre-Chorus]
I kEmnow I don't deserve you but I cDan't do this alone
I'm so sCick of laying here on my ownD  
[Chorus]
I wish you'd carry me homeG  
Take me away from this hoCuse
I hate to say this wretched mEman
That you have made to look like you
Don't look a damn thing like you nCow
I used to smile so muchG  
But then I blocked out your sCon
I'm just another man that's brEmoken his own heart
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to runC  
 D(hold)
I'm always quick to run
 G(2 bars)
[Bridge]
EmYou pumped the blood into my heart
CI poured out poison from my lips
GI'm broken down in front of you
DI've come to break like porcelain
EmI hate the bastard I became
CFar from the man that I've become
GYou should have left me long ago
DI wish that I had never run
[Final Chorus]
I wish you'd carry me homeG  
Take me away from this houseC  
I hope and pray that every dayEm  
This wretched man that you have saved
Could start to look like you somehCow
 D(hold)

Quick To Run by Front Porch Step

[Intro]

G C Em C

[Verse 1]

I'm not afraid of the dark anymore

I'm just afraid that I won't find the light

I'd kill myself if you promised me heaven

Cause I'm just too tired to put up a fight

I heard your words when I was just a boy

So there's no excuse for the path that I chose

When I'm on my knees out in front of your gates

Then I won't make excuses when that gate is closed

[Pre-Chorus]

Em D

I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone

C D

I'm so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]

I wish you'd carry me home

Take me away from this house

I hate to say this wretched man

That you have made to look like you

Don't look a damn thing like you now

I used to smile so much

But then I blocked out your son

I'm just another man that's broken his own heart

It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run

(hold)

I'm always quick to run

(2 bars)

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna die in this ocean alone

I lay on my back and I pray that I float

I thought that I had the world on a string

But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope

[Pre-Chorus]

Em D

I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone

C D

I'm so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]

I wish you'd carry me home

Take me away from this house

I hate to say this wretched man

That you have made to look like you

Don't look a damn thing like you now

I used to smile so much

But then I blocked out your son

I'm just another man that's broken his own heart

It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run

(hold)

I'm always quick to run

(2 bars)

[Bridge]

You pumped the blood into my heart

I poured out poison from my lips

I'm broken down in front of you

I've come to break like porcelain

I hate the bastard I became

Far from the man that I've become

You should have left me long ago

I wish that I had never run

[Final Chorus]

I wish you'd carry me home

Take me away from this house

I hope and pray that every day

This wretched man that you have saved

Could start to look like you somehow

(hold)

(End on G)
