Verse 1:


C                     Em                Am          Am
Just talk yourself up and tear yourself down.
C                         Em             Am          Am
You've hit your one wall, now find a way around.
C                         Em                  Am          Am
Well, what's the problem? You've got a lot of nerve.


Pre-Chorus:

So, what did you think I would say?

No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away.

I put my faith in you, so much faith
         Em                C
and then you just threw it away.
    F
You threw it away.


Verse 2:


C                 Em                Am          Am
I'm not so naive, my sorry eyes can see.
C                     Em             Am          Am
the way you fight shy of almost everything.
C                     Em                    Am          Am
Well, if you give up, you'll get what you deserve.

C
So, what did you think I would say? 
Am                      Am
No, you can't run away, no, you can't run away

and then you just threw it away.

You threw it away.


Bridge:

Em                C           Am          F
You were finished long before we had even seen the start.
              Am             F
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Am                   F              C (let ring)
Fight with your bare hands about it now.
