Tuning: Standard
This is the tenth track from the band's Astronaut album. Lots of keyboards in this song, and
there's a pretty simple guitar riff or two you can get out of it.
This riff is played during the verses. Don't forget that a D5 is played instead of a B5
the last line of the two verses also.

The chords below are played during the chorus twice. Towards the end of it, just before Simon
sings "I'm not the only one", repeat the D5 arrangement and then play the G5-D5 transition
shown below as many times needed.

I couldn't hear the guitar as well towards the end of the song, but I figured out a
structure to strum to that should be pretty close to what's being played. You'll see it in
the lyrics underneath here.
F#5Suddenly it aG5ll looks so faB5miliar
F#5Gone and wrecG5ked it, like IB5 always did
F#5Don't you knoG5w that life isB5 out to kill ya
F#5But you stillG5 go getting onD5 with it
ESeen better timeB5s than right now
G5But I'm not runD5ning away
No nothing's gonna bring me down
G5It's just been D5one of those D5days
G5I'm not the onlD5y one
F#5They can dragG5 me to the gatB5es of hell now
F#5There's nothiG5ng left but I'B5m still hangin' in
F#5Not for me, aG5in't no final B5showdown
F#5I'm too shattG5ered to do anyD5thing
ESeen better timeB5s than right now
G5But I'm not runD5ning away
ECoz nothing's goB5nna bring me down
G5It's just been D5one of those D5days
G5I'm not the onlD5y
D5one feeling this way
G5and i'm not sorD5ry
B5 - G5 - D5 - E
B5 - G5 - D5
EI'm not the onG5ly
D5one feeling this way
EAnd i'm not soG5rry
D5Not runnin' away
EI'm not the onG5ly
D5One feeling this way
EAnd I'm not soG5rry
D5i hear you say
Eno i'm not sorG5ry
E - G5 - D5
