[Verse]

        Gm
Can you hear the desperate cries
         F
That are calling out your name?
              Eb
Twisting your arms, holding out their hands
    Bb         F
And tugging at your sleeve
       Gm                   F
Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency
       Eb              Bb F
Or are you as blind as me?

[Chorus]

  Eb                 F         Gm
I hit the ground and I'm still running
      Eb              F      Bb
but I need a place to stay tonight,
  Eb                 F      Gm
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
  Eb
I just need somewhere now

[Verse]

        Gm
I can't bear the thought of losing,
              F
I dread the attention winning brings
         Eb
And ever since the day I came here
      Bb                 F
I can stand without your strings
       Gm
I'm so sick of all these people
        F
But I'm scared to be alone
            Eb
And if this life has taught me anything
     Bb           F
I forgot it long ago

[Chorus]

         Eb                 F         Gm
and so I hit the ground and I'm still running but
      Eb              F      Bb
but I need a place to stay tonight,
  Eb                 F      Gm
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
  Eb
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes

  Eb                 F         Gm
I hit the ground and I'm still running but
  Eb              F      Bb
I need a place to stay tonight,
  Eb                 F      Gm
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
  Eb
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes

{Bridge]

Gm                      Eb
  The heart is something  you can't control
Bb                          F                   Gm
  We either choose to follow  or be left on our own
                          Eb
  So we're leaving here on  a less-travelled road
Bb
  As desperate cries grow louder,
F                      Gm F Eb          Gm F Eb
  I know we're getting clooose, getting clooose

[Interlude]

Gm F Eb  x2

[Chorus]

         Eb                 F         Gm
And so I hit the ground and I'm still running
      Eb              F      Bb
but I need a place to stay tonight,
  Eb                 F      Gm
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
  Eb
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes

Eb                 F         Gm
Hit the ground and I'm still running but
  Eb              F      Bb
I need a place to stay tonight,
  Eb                 F      Gm
I swear I'll be gone in the morning
  Eb
I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
