G C D G
Hey you, don't you think you owe me more than that
G C Em
How can I convince you, when you turn your back
C D C D
that I'm not going to hurt, leave, or betray
G C D G
Hey you, what's this argument really about
C D Em
Are you terrified that we will not work out
C D C D
and determined to destroy it right away
Em C
Well, no, there's no guarantee
Em D
that the love we feel right now is meant to be
Em C
but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy
D
if you give up before it's underway
Chorus:
G G/F# Em C
So don't just ru-u-u-n away
G G/F# Em C
Run away
G G/F# Em C
Don't just ru-u-u-n away
G G/F# Em C
Run away
D C D G
You haven't even heard what I'm going to say, please don't run away
C D G
Don't just run away
Sit down, start at the beginning with your fears
How can I begin to ease them if I never hear
your complicated history replayed
Sit down, all you have to be is yourself
If you don't like it here, we'll just go somewhere else
I know this great little Italian place
But you'll have to choose
This is all a gamble and it's possible to lose
But if you don't light the time bomb's multicolored fuse
It'll tick on down to zero and seal our fate
Chorus
Bridge:
D Em
I know you've got your instincts to obey
D Em
I know you're screaming at you not to stay
Am C D
but if I were you, I'd think about the choice I'm gonna make
Chorus
