Audience Of One

[Intro]
C# G# A#m F#
C# G# A#m F#

[Verse 1]
C#
                 G#
I can still remember
The words and what they meant
A#m                              F#
   As we etched them with our fingers
                      C#
In years of wet cement
                        G#
Days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
A#m                        F#
   We cruised along at half  speed
But then we shifted gears

[Pre-Chorus]
A#m       C#   F#              C#               D#m
   We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
A#m      C# F#                  G#
   But even then we should have stayed
            A#m
But we ran away

[Chorus]
F#    C#                 G#
  Now all my friends are gone
A#m            F#            C#                  G#
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
    A#m
Runaway
F#     C#             G#
  What are we running from?
  A#m                F#            C#          G#
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      A#m  G#   F#   C#
Where have they gone?

[Verse 2]
                 G#
Identities assume  us
As nine and five add up
A#m                   F#
   Synchronizing watches
                           C#
To the seconds that we lost
                       G#
But I looked up and saw  you
I know that you saw me
A#m                     F#
   We froze but for a moment
In empathy

[Pre-Chorus]
A#m              C#    F#              C#
   I brought down  the sky for you but all you did was
D#m
shrug
A#m         C# F#          G#
   You gave my emptiness a name
             A#m
But you ran away

[Chorus]
F#    C#                 G#
  Now all my friends are gone
A#m            F#            C#                  G#
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
    A#m
Runaway
F#     C#             G#
  What are we running from?
  A#m                F#            C#          G#
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      A#m  G#   F#
Where have they gone?

[Interlude]
A#m F# G# A#m F# D#m A#m F# G# A#m F# D#m

[Bridge]
A#m      F#   G#           A#m F#    D#m
   We're all ok, until the day we're not
A#m    F#      G#
   The surface shines,
          A#m F#  D#m
while the in_side rots
A#m   F#        G#            A#m F#  D#m
   We raced the sunset and we al_most won
A#m   F#          G#
   We slammed the brakes,
        A#m    F#   D#m
but the wheels went on
F#            A#m
  But we ran away

[Chorus]
F#    C#                 G#
  Now all my friends are gone
A#m            F#            C#                  G#
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
    A#m
Runaway
F#     C#             G#
  What are we running from?
  A#m                F#            C#          G#
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      A#m  G#   F#
Where have they gone?
