No where to run to, (Db)ba by,

Got no where to run to, (Db)ba by,

no where to hide.

It’s not love I’m a (Ebm)run ning from,

it’s the heart break I (Ebm)know will (Db)come.

’Cause I know you’re no (Ebm)good for me,

but you’ve be come a (Ebm)part of me.

Ev ’ry (Ab)where I go, your face I see.

Ev ’ry step I take, you take with me.

No where to run to, no where by, hide

No where to hide.

Got no where to run to, (Db)ba by,

no where to hide.

I know you’re no good for me,

but free of you I’ll nev er be, (Ab)no.

Each night (Ebm)as I sleep,

in to my (Ebm)heart you creep.

I wake up feel in’ (Ebm)sor ry I met you, (Ab)hop ing soon that (Ebm)I’ll for get (Db)you.

When I (Ab)look in the mir ror to comb my hair,

I see your face just a smil ing there.

No where to run, to, no where to hide

Got no where to run to, (Db)ba by,

No where to run to, (Db)ba by,
