This is a song that is quite complex. And I don t know every part of it, I ll try to
it down by using the abbreviations I did for Running Away by Delta Goodrem.
This the chord part only, I m not savvy with tabs, but I ll have a crack at it later.
But this song could ve been a perfect alternative theme song for Vernoica Mars , even
when Delta was writing it, she was analyzing herself.
