[Intro]
Am F C x2
[Verse]
          Am                F              C 
There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny 
             Am          F            C 
Then there's me inside a sinking boat running out of time 
        Am             F            C 
Without you I'll never make it out alive 
           Am         F          C 
But I know yes I know we’ll be alright  
          Am            F                    C 
There's a devil in your smile that's chasing me 
    Am           F                C 
And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed 
          Am              F          C 
There's a moment when you finally realize 
           Am          F                  C 
There's no way you can change the rolling tide 
      Am         G                 F   -stop 
But I know yes I know that I'll be fine
[Chorus]
C 
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!) 
 F 
Escape from this city and follow the sun 
      F        C                F        C 
Cuz I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine 
        F         C           G           F 
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night 
C 
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!) 
    F 
Wherever you are is the place I belong 
      F        C          F        C 
Cuz I wanna be free and I wanna be young 
     F          C 
I'll never look back now 
    G          Am  F C 
I'm re--ady to run 
             Am F C 
I'm ready to run
[Verse]
          Am           F               C 
There’s a future in my life I can't forsee 
  Am               F                  C 
Unless of course I stay on course and keep you next to me 
           Am            F              C 
There will always be the kind that criticize 
      Am         F             C      -stop 
But I know yes I know we'll be alright
[Chorus]
C 
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!) 
 F 
Escape from this city and follow the sun 
      F        C                F        C 
Cuz I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine 
        F         C           G           F 
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night 
C 
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!) 
    F 
Wherever you are is the place I belong 
      F        C          F        C 
Cuz I wanna be free and I wanna be young 
     F          C 
I'll never look back now 
    G          A# 
I'm re--ady to run
[Post-Chorus]
A#                     C 
This time I'm ready to run 
         A# 
Ready to run 
                                         G 
I'll give everything that I got for your love
[Chorus]
C* 
This time I'm ready to run   
 F* 
Escape from this city and follow the sun 
      F        C                F        C 
Cuz I wanna be yours, don't you wanna be mine 
        F         C           G           F 
I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night 
C 
This time I'm ready to run (RUN!) 
    F 
Wherever you are is the place I belong 
      F        C          F        C 
Cuz I wanna be free and I wanna be young 
     F          C 
I'll never look back now 
    G          C -once 
I'm re--ady to run
