Verse 1
Am Em F
I don't want you to give it all up and leave your own life
Am Em
collecting dust. And I don't want you to feel sorry for me. You
F~ Am Em
never gave us a chance to be. And I don't need you to be by my side
F Am
to tell me that everything's alright. I just wanted you to tell me
Em F
the truth. You know I'd do that for you.

Verse 2
Am Em F
Cause I did enough to show you that I was willing to give and
Am Em
sacrifice. And I was the one who was lifting you up when you
F Am
thought your life had had enough. And when I get close you turn
Em F Am
away. There's nothing that I can do or say. So now I need you to
Em F
tell me the truth. You know I'd do that for you.
Chorus
A5 B5 C5 E5 F5 C5 G5
So why are you running away?
A5 E5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5
Why are you running away?

Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do to make you change your
mind. Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that I can do. Is it a waste
of time?

Chorus
A5 B5 C5 E5 F5 C5 G5
So why are you running away?
A5 E5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5
Why are you running away? (What is it I have to say?)
A5 B5 C5 E5 F5 C5 G5
So why are you running away? (To make you admit you're afraid)
A5 E5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5
Why are you running away?
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HOOBASTANK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
