Intro:  C   G(x2)
I'm Call packed up now Gearly in the morning
  CI'll take my Gleave
  CI'll bring your Gwords along with me
Maybe D/F#one day they will mean someGthing
For D/F#now they buzz and Gcrumble down
A D/F#little bit too easilyG  
From a D/F#time that I am Gnot quite over
 D/F#What the hell is wrong with Gme
  CI might be Ggone a little while
  CI guess we'll Gsee
  CI gotta make a Ghome outta somewhere
And D/F#you're all over this ciGty
And it'll D/F#take a flight to Gfigure out
 D/F#Where I'm gonna finally Gland
And the D/F#time it takes for Gme to get there
 D/F#I'll be one to start aGgain
But I should Emprobably say that I'm Cunsure why I'm Grunning, D/F#running
AEmway from the Conly thing I D/F#want
Yeah I should Emprobably say that I'm Cunsure why I'm Grunning, D/F#running
AEmway from  Cthe one I Glove
And if the Cplane lifts off I'll Gwrite you a letter
  CTo say goodGbye
And I will Cmake it long and maybe Glie just a little
 D/F#Tell you that I'm doing Gfine
Then I'll D/F#send it out and Glet things be
    D/F#If not for Gyou
 D/F#For me and for the Gtime I've spent
 D/F#Foolishly loving Gthee
But I should Emprobably say that I'm Cunsure why I'm Grunning, D/F#running
AEmway from the Conly thing I D/F#want
Yeah I should Emprobably say that I'm Cunsure why I'm Grunning, D/F#running
