The Past Always Runs Faster Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
You walked [D]down that stolen path
On that gold [Bm]-milling [D]land I
Like you didn't even really care
You talked about the war
and how it would never really end
They'd just rename it to change its air
[G]And the sky blew up overhead
You said now it's time to [D]go home
But instead we stood up and we stared
[G]It's once a year of natural disaster
Flooding [D]echoes [G]of the pas[D]t
And no one has a reason to be scared
[G]Why do [D]you look so sca[G]red?[Em][G][D]
[Em]We already have [D]all the answers
[G]Why do [D]you run so fas[G]t,[D][G]
[Em]when the past al[D]ways runs faster?
The next month I went to your wake
You instructed them to [G]make [D]sure
You sat up in [Bm]your chair[D]
You were flanked by rows of candles
Flickering wildly on the mantelpiece
We were all [Bm]caught in [D]your snare
[G]They played all your favorite songs
My God, [A]it took [G]so [D]long
In between the sun and air
[G]On the way out, I shook your hand
Looked in your eyes [A]and couldn't stop
[D]The fact that there was nothing there
[G]Why did [D]you look so [G]scared[A]
[D]We [G]already had[D] all the ans[A]wers
[D]Why[G] did you[D] run so far[G],[D][G]
[Em]when [D]the past always [A]runs farther[D]?
