I'm adopting some abbreviations for this song because firstly, this song is easier to play with a pick because there are some special strumming patterns r=ring the chord d=downstroke u=upstroke (d,u,d, stop)=quick downstroke,upstroke then downstroke then silencing the chord D (d,u,d,u)=change to D chord on the 1st 'u' stroke, so the 1st 'd' stroke in the sequence is still a C chord (very tough to catch this for me, must admit) NORMAL=normal d,u pick strokes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro (d,stop,d,u, muted d,u strokes) Em7 I am 'ow I feel I am 'ow I feel I am 'ow... Verse (d,stop,d,u, muted d,u strokes continue) Am I close my eyes and make a wish for Inner peace and tranquillity inside Em7 My mind I feel it's changing Breaking down the defences of my heart Am It's like a new adventure And it's just my life Bridge C (r) C (r) D (dudu) D (r) No l-onger know the girl inside C (r) C (r) D (d,u,d, NC) The s-tranger in my mind Chorus (NORMAL) Em C D Am I'm running away-y.
