Note: There is no acoustic guitar in this song but I add them. For all
verses the electric guitar will play the same as the intro. Just
listen to the song for the timing.
Verse 1:
Cmaj Amin
I ran away from you,
Amin Cmaj
That's all I ever do,
Cmaj Amin
And though I started here,
Amin Cmaj
I ran away from you,
Cmaj Amin
I'm gonna come on in,
Amin Cmaj
And see it through,
Verse 2:
Cmaj Amin
I ran away from you,
Amin Cmaj
That's all I ever do,
Cmaj Amin
And when I heard you call,
Amin Cmaj
"Come back to me",
Cmaj Amin
I know I should stay,
Amin Cmaj
I don't have the stomach to,
Note: Dmin7 is an additional chords since this song use Cmaj as a
family chord. So playing Dmin7 might sounds a bit funny. So take
note that in bass guitar you'll have to play it as B in the 2nd
last line when you catch the Dmin7. So it could be Dmin7/B too.
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/coldplay/i_ran_away_crd.html ]
Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,
Fmaj Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,
Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,
Fmaj Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,
Cmaj Gmaj
I have your love on call,
Fmaj Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,
Fmaj Dmin7
There might be nothing left to do,
Fmaj Dmin7 Cmaj
So I ran away from you,
A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7 A Abaug5w5 F#7
Verse 3:
Cmaj Amin
I'm gonna come on in,
Amin Cmaj
My eyes are closed,
Cmaj Amin
I can feel it there,
Amin Cmaj
The sun's so close,
Cmaj Amin
I'm gonna come on out,
Amin Cmaj
And burn the sky,
Riff:
Fmaj Amin
A star arose in my own cage,
Fmaj Amin
I'm stuck in life and in a cage,
Fmaj Gmaj
Just a single star,
Amin
I sing for,
Note: Same as the first chorus.
Chorus:
Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,
Fmaj Dmin7
I'm a fool to mess with you,
Cmaj Gmaj
Everyone I know says,
Fmaj Dmin7
It's a stupid thing to do,
Cmaj Gmaj
I have your love on call,
Fmaj Dmin7
And yet my day is so full,
Fmaj Dmin7
And I did not know what to do,
Fmaj Dmin7 Cmaj
So I ran away from you,
Note: The guitar tabs that you see below is the piano stuff. Others is
just the electric guitar. The 2nd last note of every bar is
Eaug5 in the first 3 bars. So, that Eaug5 in that 2nd last note
just strum it one time only. Yeah, you would need to do some
pulls too. Listen to the song again to understand this part.
