It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
BmGirl you're chDasing rEainbows Abut you Ecry when its Dnot there
It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
[Verse 1]
EI am a top star
GI feel a racecar
DI feel the rain on my flesh
EThe holes have darkened
GThe dogs are barking
DBut they ain't bitten me yet
EYou give up when the Ggame begins
DLooking like something that the Acat dragged in
I Amshout but you can't hear me
[Chorus]
It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE

It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
[Verse 2]
EYou wake up and Gyour heart is broken
DIts all broken again
EYou feel roped in
GThe trailers smoking
DBut there's a hole in the fence
EI don't know how you Gstand the pain
DHoping on things that will Anever change
I Amshout but you don't hear me
[Chorus]
It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
It Bmdoesn't hDave to Ebe that AwayE  
BmGirl you're chDasing rEainbows Abut you Ecry when its Dnot there
