G, Bm, A (x2)
[Verse 1]
GHow long could you Bmwait for someone you Alove?
Just looking for the Gtunnels of Bmlight coming down from Aabove
I was waiting by the Gphone, the moment you Bmcalled, the moment you Acaved
Just tell me all your Gsecrets and Bmlies, your Abarricades
G, Bm, A (x2)
[Verse 2]
GWhen it gets Bmdark, striking the Ayouth
Holding me back from falliGng through tunnels of Bmlight emitted from Ayou
I was waiting by the Gphone, the moment you Bmcalled, the moment you Acaved
Where would I be without your Gsecrets and Bmlies, your Abarricades
[Chorus]
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now, Aoh
G, Bm, A (x2)
[Verse 3]
GA memory of Bmyou, plucked from the Apool
Just tell me have I Gmet you Bmbefore did we play the Afool?
Serenade me while I Gsleep, ripple the Bmwalls, keep us out of Asight
My memory's playing tricks and Ggames, the madness you Bmloved, the tunnels of Alight
[Chorus]
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now, Aoh
[Bridge]
Bm, G, Em, A
Don't run Bmaway nowG, just Embarricade Anow
[Final Chorus]
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now, don't run Aaway now, don't run away now
Don't run Bmaway, don't run away, don't run Gaway, don't run away
Just Embarricade now, Aoh
G, Bm, A (x4)
