I've [c] tried and tried to run and hide

To find a [c7] life that's [g7] new

But [c] where i go, i [f] always [c] know

I can't es-[g7] cape from [c] you.



A jug of wine to numb my mind

But what good does it do

The jug runs dry and still i cry

I can't escape from you.



These wasted tears are souvenirs

Of a love i thought was true

Your memory is chained to me

I can't escape from you.



There is no end, i can't pretend

That dreams will soon come true

A slave too long to a heart of stone

I can't escape from you.
