Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][Bm][G][Bb][F#][D][Bm][Em]
[A]On the run

[Verse 1]
[D]
since before [A]ever [F#m]after
[Em]Standard [G]fam[Bm]ily disa[F#m]ster
[Bm]Love[G]rs, brothers, othe[C]r bastards
[D]Told me where [A]to go
I [D]shook my lumps, then took [A]off running
[Bm]Shor[Em]t on wisdom, wits, o[D]r cunn[Bm]ing
[G]One for all, but [C]all for nothing
[D]Into the un[F#m]known

[Verse 2]
[Em]There's no point [A]to [Bm]waste the [G]blame
[Em]I've never[G] been strictly speaking sane
[D]I should have known fresh dirt
won't wash old stains away
[A]

[Verse 3]
[F#m]I tried [D]to drown your memory[A]
[Bm]It l[Em]earned to swim and c[D]lung to me[Bm]
[G]Kissed my [C]cheek sadistically
[D]And dragged me down be[F#m]low

[Verse 4]
[Em]There's no point [A]to [Bm]waste [Em]the blame
I've [G]never been strictly speaking sane
[D]I should have known fresh dirt won't
wash old stains away
[A][F#m][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]I was so ang[C]ry the[G]n,
[Bb]in psych[Gm]ic s[Bb]elf-defense
Wast[C]ing [Bb]Wast[D]ing energy,
[Bm]fighting somet[Bb]hing I couldn't see.[A]..
Just fightin' myself
[D][A][Bm][G][Em]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
[D]I know time u[Em]nfolds and
[A]then it [F#m]tangles
[Em]Strings attached an[G]d
[Bm]feelings m[F#m]angled
[G]Some threads are severed,
[C]some still dangle
[D]Some just drift [F#m]away

[Verse 7]
[Em]There's no point [A]to [Bm]waste the [Em]blame
I've [G]never been strictly speaking sane
[D]I s[A]hould have kno[D]wn fresh dirt won't
wash old stains away
[A][F#m][A]

[Verse 8]
[G]The last thing I tri[C]ed to [G]do
[Bb]was end [Gm]up hu[Bb]rting[C] you
I [D]found my [Bm]enemy staring
[Bb]back from the [Gm]mirror [Bb]at me[A]
I've been fightin' my[D]self
[G]Fightin' myself
[D]

[Verse 9]
There's [G]nobody [Bm]in the ri[D]ng b[Bm]ut me[Em]
I [A]broke some [Bm]things [A]I k[G]now
just can't be [A]fixed
While I [D]fought for what I [A]wanted
more than [G]anything
[A]You stuck [D]around [A]for kicks
