Running From Me

I�m not 100% sure on this but it sounds close. The G# name isn�t right it�s something
so for ease I�m just going to put it as G#. Also the chord might not be totally right. The
beginning is missing and how he ends the song is missing. The verses are all muted with 
eighth note strumming or however you word that. The �A-X�s are the A chord
followed by the muted strumming. I don�t know if he is doing this but it sorta sounds 
it. The �\� in the last Chorus are to show the downstrokes he does. Just watch the video 
you�ll understand what I�m talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMQGEyW5AV0

Verse 1:

�
X
I�m stuck with these sins
I�m hopin� maybe time can resolve them
I�m a lying cheating fiend and coward
Who�s trying to follow Christ
I�m hopin� He can fix this old dog with new tricks
His death is my only device
Ya death is my only device

Chorus 1:

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                              F#m
Well all that�s true, that I was running from you
D/A                          A-X
Turns out I was running from me

Verse 2:

X
There�s a girl who lives down my street
She says the flowers take care of the bees
She tells me I�m poor and my daddy�s at war
Oh who�s gonna take care of me?

Verse 3:

X
Now if history is violence and sex
I�d rather not pay my respects
If I�ve caused offense
If I�m too direct
I�m just trying to talk some sense

I�m politically in-correct
I said

Chorus 2:

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                               F#m
Well all that�s truth, that I was running from you
D/A                          A
Turns out I was running from me

Bridge:

F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               A
Running away from me
F#m      G#
La la la la la la
D/A               A-X
Running away from me

Verse 4:

X
I�ve been given this a lot of thought
Who am I? Who on earth is God?
The answer ain�t kind
And reason to find
But by God it�s the only answer I got
Yeah God it�s the only chance I�ve got

Chorus 3:

D/A                     A
I said I needed room to breathe
D/A                      A
I said I needed to break free
D/A                               F#m
Well all that�s truth, that I was running from you
D/A                          A
Turns out I was running from me
         D/A \ \   \   \    \    A
It turns out I was run-ning from me

Bridge:

F#m      G#
La la la la la la

D/A               X
Running away from me

X
Alright. Since this is the last song
You have to sing that part.
That�s the rules.
It goes like this�

Bridge:

D/A               G#
Running away from me

La la la la la la
Running away from me
