[Intro]

G
 
[Verse]

G
Denim and salty hair
              Em
Walked in the room 

like you just don’t care
                Am
You came out of nowhere
            D7
God, it was unfair
 
 
[Verse]

          G
Gone in a flash like a blinking eye
               Em
I think of the past and 

I don’t know why
            Am
Baby you’re nowhere
                   D7
But I still try to go there
 
 
[Chorus]

G                       Em
   I wish that we could run away together
Am                     
   Instead I'm running 
D7
out of ways to let you go
G                          
   I'm scared I'll have to 
Em
fake a smile forever
       Am            D7     
   But honestly I'll never 
 N.C.         G
be a great pretender
 
 
[Verse]

      G
Now I know what 

it’s like in heck
                Em
It’s seeing you out 

with someone else
               Am
Knowing you’re happy
            D7
Knowing you had me, oh
 
 
[Verse]

G                      
Wrapped around your finger 
       Em
like a wedding ring
               Am
I never got to give you but it's fine
    D7           N.C.
You only live forever in my mind
 
 
[Chorus]

G                       Em
   I wish that we could run away together
Am                     
   Instead I'm running 
D7
out of ways to let you go
G                          
   I'm scared I'll have to 
Em
fake a smile forever
       Am            D7     
   But honestly I'll never 
 N.C.         G
be a great pretender

(G)             Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(I'll never be, I'll never be)
G               Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Am              D7
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

G                       Em
   I wish that we could run away together
Am                     
   Instead I'm running 
D7
out of ways to let you go
G                          
   I'm scared I'll have to
