[Bb]Once i tried to [F]run away
[Gm]I felt I'd lost the [Eb]fight
[Bb]I just wanted [F]to be free
Of the [Gm]sadness in my [Eb]life
My [Ab]heart was torn, my [Eb]dreams were sad
The [F]joy had gone for [Gm]what I had
[Bb]Once I tried to [F]run away
I [Eb]failed for that I'm [Bb]glad
The [Bb]more I tried to [F]stand up straight
The [Gm]more I fell [Eb]apart
For [Bb]all I tried to [F]block things out
The [Gm]more I heard my [Eb]heart
It [Ab]missed a beat, [Eb]it hurt me bad
The [F]joy had gone for [Gm]what I had
So [Bb]once I tried to [F]run away
I [Eb]failed for that I'm [Gm]glad
chorus
[Dm]You came you [G]followed me
You [C]said that I [Am]belong
With [Dm]someone who will [G]comfort me
As [C]you have all [Am]along
[F]So I stopped and I [G]thought a while
And [Ab]slowly I [Bb]began to smile
And [C]though I tried to [G]run away
I [F]never will a[C]gain
My [Bb]heart was torn my [F]dreams were sad
The [G]joy had gone for [Am]what I had
[C]Once I tried to [G]run away, I [F]failed for that I'm [C]glad
repeat chorus
[C]Thinking back I'm [G]lucky that
I [Am]never threw [F] [away
The C]one thing that has [G]kept me here
From [Am]then until this [F]day
I [Bb]feel so warm, the [F]fear has gone
I [G]know this love goes [Am]on and on
[C]Once tried to [G]run away
But [F]who knows where I'd [C]gone?
