 You may  not see the end  of it
 But luckily  she comes  around
 It isn’t  what she talks  about
 It’s just  the way she is.
 And she says, “Ooh,  darlin’ don’t  you know,
 The darkness  comes  and the darkness  goes.”
 And she says, “Ooh,  babe, why don’t you  let  it go?
 Happiness  ain’t never  how you think  it should be so.”
 I mystified  the simple  life
 I covered  up with consciousness
 I saw  myself and broke  it down
 ‘Till nothing  more was left.
 She saw  the symptoms right  away
 And spoke  to me in poetry
 Sometimes  the more you wonder  why
 The worse  it seems to get.
 (Repeat Refrain)
She  runs away
  yeah… yeah… yeah…
She  runs away…  yeah…  yeah…  yeah…
 And then  you know there comes  a time
 You need  her more than anything
 You may  believe yours are  the wounds
 That only  she can heal.
 Then everything  will turn  around
 She  becomes so serious
 What  she chose to offer  you
 Was all  that you could have.
 (Repeat Refrain & Bridge)
She  runs away…  yeah…  yeah…  yeah…
She  runs away…  yeah…  yeah…  yeah…
She  runs away…  yeah…  yeah…  yeah…
She  runs away…  yeah…  yeah…  yeah…

[C9] [Gm7] [A9] [E]

You [C9]may not see the [G6]end of it
But lu[A9]ckily she co[E]mes around
It i[C9]sn’t what she t[G6]alks about
It’s j[A9]ust the way she [E]is.

And she says, “[Em9]Ooh, darlin’ [Dm7]don’[B]t you know,
The d[G6]arkness c[D9]ome[F#]s and the dar[A9]kness g[A]oes.”
And she says, “[Em9]Ooh, babe, why don’t you [Dm7]  le[B]t it go?
Hap[G6]piness ain’t [D9]nev[F#]er how you t[A9]hink it should be [A]so.”

I mys[C9]tified the sim[G6]ple life
I co[A9]vered up with c[E]onsciousness
I s[C9]aw myself and b[G6]roke it down
‘Till n[A9]othing more was l[E]eft.

She [C9]saw the symptoms r[G6]ight away
And s[A9]poke to me in p[E]oetry
Somet[C9]imes the more you w[G6]onder why
The w[A9]orse it seems to g[E]et.

(Repeat Refrain)

[Em9]She runs away    [Dm7]        [B]              [G6]                     [D9]                        [F#]                            [A9]                                [A]
     yeah… yeah… yeah…
[Em9]She runs away…   [Dm7]  ye[B]ah… ye[G6]ah… yea[D9]h… [F#]     [A9]         [A]

[A9] [A]

And th[C9]en you know there co[Gm7]mes a time
You n[A9]eed her more than an[E]ything
You m[C9]ay believe yours a[Gm7]re the wounds
That o[A9]nly she can h[E]eal.

Then e[C9]verything will t[G6]urn around
She[A9] becomes so s[E]erious
Wh[C9]at she chose to o[G6]ffer you
Was a[A9]ll that you could h[E]ave.

(Repeat Refrain & Bridge)

[Em9]She runs away…   [Dm7]  ye[B]ah… ye[G6]ah… yea[D9]h… [F#]     [A9]         [A]

[Em9]She runs away…   [Dm7]  ye[B]ah… ye[G6]ah… yea[D9]h… [F#]     [A9]         [A]
[Em9]She runs away…   [Dm7]  ye[B]ah… ye[G6]ah… yea[D9]h… [F#]     [A9]         [A]
