VERSE 1: Same as the intro, but I've written the chords more simply
D Dsus4
I've thought about it for a while
F Fsus4
And thought about the many miles
G Gsus4 D BASS RIFF
But I think it's time that I've gone away
D Dsus4
The feelings that you had for me
F Fsus4
Have gone away it's plain to see
G Gsus4
And it looks to me that you're pulling away

VERSE 2:
I find it hard to say to you
That this is what I have to do
But there is no way that I'm gonna stay
There are so many things you need to know
And I want to tell you before I go
But it's hard to think of just what to say
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
I'm sorry to leave you all alone
You're sitting, silent by the phone
But we'd always known there would come a day
The bus is warm and softly lit
And a hundred people riding it
I guess I'm just another running away
CHORUS
Oh yea-ah yea-ea-ah
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D / F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F / G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G / D14
