[Verse 1]
      Em
The flashing of an eyelid
      Am           B
The twinkle of an eye
    Em                               Am              B
Was all it took to let me know that you were never shy
     Em
You told me you were on the run
      B
From hell hounds on your trail
   Am             C             B
I told you I was going off the rails

[Verse 2]
     Em                    Am               B
And that was all the introduction that we knew
    Em
No holding hands, no chaperones
    Am             B
No restaurant for two
Em                          B
...And with a flourish you took me by the hand
     Am              C             B
And pushed my weary head into the sand


[Chorus]
      Em           Am            B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
        Em                           Am            B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
          Em          Am            B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
   Em                   Am           B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss

[Verse 3]
Em                   Am         B
...And we dined on bread and a beer
Em                        Am          B
Asking me if I was gonn run away in fear
Em  Em/D# Em/D                   B
...........I said that fear was furthest from my mind
Am                  C               B
...You might have thought it was a lie

[Verse 4]
Em                         Am          B
  We faded to black like they do in a film
Em                              Am                 B
   My foot still on the floor. Your contacts still in
        Em
Like a restaurant that serves you
    B
prepared and ready meals
Am            C              B
   We both agreed it was surreal

[Chorus]
      Em           Am            B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
        Em                           Am            B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
          Em          Am            B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
   Em                   Am           B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss

[Verse 5]
Em                        Am             B
  And in the morning you told me I was free
Em                                Am           B
  And I walked home with yellow bruises on my feet
Em                        B
   I must admit it was a way to pass the time
Am            C             B
   a perfect way to draw a line

[Chorus]
      Em           Am            B
And though... I’m tired of the chase
        Em                           Am            B
Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race
          Em          Am            B
Cause I know if it’s you I’m gonna miss
   Em                   Am           B
Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss
