Madonna - Mer Girl: chords

B
I ran from my house that cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
My mother who haunts me, even though she's gone
From my daughter that never sleeps

G#m A           F#
I ran from the noise and the silence
B
From the traffic on the streets

I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky
Out to the lake, into the rain
That matted my hair, and soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears

Chorus:
    B         A         B           A
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
    B        A          B           A
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me

B      A
I ran past the churches
and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards
and the lady that never talks

Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath, and thought about your death
I ran to the lake, up into the hills
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still

And I saw the crumbling tombstones
All forgotten names
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears

And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up, blinding me

Chorus:
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes, and up to the hill
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still

And I smelled her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away
