• B

Intro: B F# Ebm C# B F# C# (x2) 


Verse 1: 
F#                                            B 
  Just talk yourself up And tear yourself down 
F#                                              B 
  You've hit your one wall Now find a way around 
F#                        G#m                       Ebm C# 
  Well what's the problem? You've got a lot of nerve 


Refrain: 
   Ebm                      Bbm 
So what'd you think I would say? 
                  B                      C# 
No you can't run away, no you can't run away 
   Ebm                        C#/F 
So what did you think I would say? 
                  F#                     G#m 
No you can't run away, no you can't run away 
You wouldn't 


Chorus: 
B         C#        Ebm 
  I never wanted to say this 
B           F#         C#  
  You never wanted to stay 
B          C#            Ebm 
  I put my faith in you, so much faith 
         B        C#        F#  C# 
And then you just threw it away 


(Repeat Intro once only) 
You threw it away 


Verse 2: 
F#                                      B 
  I'm not so naive My sorry eyes can see 
F#                                        B 
  The way you fly shy Of almost everything 
F#                    G#m                         Ebm  C#   
  Well, if you give up You'll get what you deserve 


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus) 


Bridge: Bass lines  :  

You were finished long before 
We had even seen the start 
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it? 
                                    F#(hold) 
Fight with your bare hands about it now 



Outro: 
B         F#        Ebm     C# 
  I never wanted to say this 
B           F#         C#  
  You never wanted to stay 
B          C#            Ebm 
  I put my faith in you, so much faith 
         B        C#        F# 
And then you just threw it away 
B         C#        Ebm 
  I never wanted to say this 
B           F#         C#  
  You never wanted to stay 
B          C#            Ebm 
  I put my faith in you, so much faith 
         B        C#        F# 
And then you just threw it away
