Verse
A#
I always said she was a runner,
And running through the fields,
Dm
I put a gun, I put a gun to her,
With the force she came to kneel,
A#
And as she screams and in her own blood,
I said sympathy for you,
Dm
I'll never have, I'll never have none,
Its time you told the truth,
A#
And I left the gun beside her,
And running in the nights,
Dm
I run for land, I ran for safety,
For new places and new sight,
A#
Always said she was a runner
And I thought I knew her well.
Dm
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
CHORUS:
D#
You should have died that very night,
A#
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer,
D#
you took my life, and I took my flight,
A#
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer.
Verse 2
A# Dm
A#
I always knew her as a baker,
But something I knew not,
Dm
is That when I tried to take her,
There was something Ides forgot,
A#
For I knew I couldn't keep her,
And running out of time,
Dm
I tried so hard, I tried to cheat her,
She was a running in her prime,
A#
So I thought about my choices,
And chose to drop the gun,
Dm
And amongst the screaming voices,
Something told me I should run.
A#
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
Dm
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
CHORUS
Verse 3
F
There is so much to remember,
A#
But there is more to forget,
F
I isn't seen you since December,
A#
I'm surprised we haven't met,
F
and In the Depths of the Silly Isles,
A#
I heard you reside,
F
and in the depths of my mind,
A#
I can still see your eyes
CHORUS
