Audience Of One

[Intro]

Db Absus4 Bbm Gb

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm               Gb               Db
   We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Ebm
Bbm             Gb                     Ab
   But even then  we should have stayed
               Bbm
But we ran away

[Chorus]
Gb           Db
  And now all  my friends are gone
Ab Bbm                 Gb              Db
   Maybe we've outgrown  all the things  that we once loved
Ab       Bbm Gb
  Runaway
            Db
But what are  we running from?
Ab  Bbm                     Gb          Db
  A show of hands from those  in this audience of one
Ab      Bbm  Ab   Gb
  Where have they gone?

[Verse 2]
Db                 Ab
  Identities assume  us
As nine and five add up
Bbm                 Gb
   Synchronizing watches
                           Db
To the seconds that we lost
                   Ab
I looked up and saw  you
I know that you saw me
Bbm                     Gb
   We froze but for a moment
In empathy

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                      Gb               Db
   I brought down the sky  for you but all  you did was
shrug
Ebm Bbm               Gb           Ab
       You gave my emptiness a name
                 Bbm
Then you ran away

[Chorus]
Gb           Db
  And now all  my friends are gone
Ab Bbm                 Gb              Db
   Maybe we've outgrown  all the things  that we once loved
Ab       Bbm Gb
  Runaway
            Db
But what are  we running from?
Ab  Bbm                     Gb          Db
  A show of hands from those  in this audience of one
Ab      Bbm  Ab   Gb
  Where have they gone?

[Break]
Bbm Gb Db Bbm Gb Ab Bbm Gb Db Bbm Gb Ab

[Bridge]
Bbm      Gb   Db
   We're all okay,
          Bbm Gb    Ab
until the day we're not
Bbm    Gb      Db
   The surface shines,
          Bbm Gb  Ab
while the in_side rots
Bbm   Gb        Db            Bbm Gb  Ab
   We raced the sunset and we al_most won
Bbm   Gb          Db
   We slammed the brakes,
        Bbm    Gb   Ab Gb
but the wheels went on
Ab               Bbm
  And we ran away

[Chorus]
Gb           Db
  And now all  my friends are gone
Ab
Bbm                    Gb              Db
   Maybe we've outgrown  all the things  that we once loved
Ab       Bbm Gb
  Runaway
            Db
But what are  we running from?
Ab  Bbm                     Gb          Db
  A show of hands from those  in this audience of one
Ab      Bbm  Ab   Gb   Bbm Gb Db
  Where have they gone?
