[Verse 1]
Em
The flashing of an eyelid
Am B
The twinkle of an eye
Em Am B
Was all it took to let me know that you were never shy
Em
You told me you were on the run
B
From hell hounds on your trail
Am C B
I told you I was going off the rails
[Verse 2]
Em Am B
And that was all the introduction that we knew
Em
No holding hands, no chaperones
Am B
No restaurant for two
Em B
...And with a flourish you took me by the hand
Am C B
And pushed my weary head into the sand
[Chorus]
Em Am B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
Em Am B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
Em Am B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
Em Am B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss
[Verse 3]
Em Am B
...And we dined on bread and a beer
Em Am B
Asking me if I was gonn run away in fear
Em Em/D# Em/D B
...........I said that fear was furthest from my mind
Am C B
...You might have thought it was a lie
[Verse 4]
Em Am B
We faded to black like they do in a film
Em Am B
My foot still on the floor. Your contacts still in
Em
Like a restaurant that serves you
B
prepared and ready meals
Am C B
We both agreed it was surreal
[Chorus]
Em Am B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
Em Am B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
Em Am B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
Em Am B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss
[Verse 5]
Em Am B
And in the morning you told me I was free
Em Am B
And I walked home with yellow bruises on my feet
Em B
I must admit it was a way to pass the time
Am C B
a perfect way to draw a line
[Chorus]
Em Am B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
Em Am B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
Em Am B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
Em Am B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss
