Song: Running Away
Artist: Hoobastank
Album: Hoobastank
Tabbed by: punkernikel (staneke@uwplatt.edu)
http://www.basstabarchive.com/

Drop D tuning, 6/8 time. listen to the song to get the idea.
all he does during the verse is play the note on low D
and then play the same not on high D alternating at
what seems random intervals. The fills on the bridge
work, but parts of my tab are not exactly like the recording.
This should give you something you can at least play along with
the whole song. This is my first tab, so rhythm is probably wrongly tabbed.

Intro (twice) (plays quiet with acoustic, but there is bass on this part)
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
D|---7-7-7-7-----7-7-7-7----5-5-5-5-----3-3-3-3-----||


Verse (i don't want you...)
(recommend a pick or use your thumb (i know that's bad)
on the low-D string, and your index & middle finger on high d)

G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|------7-----7-----7----7--5-----5----5----3----3---|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
D|--7-7----77---7-7---77------5-5---55---33---33---33|


chorus (so why are you running....)

first time through the chorus

G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-0-0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-------------3-3-3-------|
D|-------------------0-0-0-3-3-3-------5-5-5-|

second time through the chorus

G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|0-0-0-------3-3-3-------------3-3-3----------|
D|------2-2-2-------0-0-0-3-3-3-------5-5-5----|


Bridge (first 2 notes are barely audible, and maybe an octave up)

G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|-7-5----------------5-----------3------5----------|
A|------------------5---5-5-----3------5------------|
D|------7-7-7-----5-----------3------5--------------|

(this part is not correct, but it works if you get the rhythm)
G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------5------------5-7-5-7-----------|
A|---------------------5--7-----5-------------------|
D|---7-7---7--77---5----------5---------------------|

G|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------5-----------3------5----------|
A|------------------5---5-5-----3------5------------|
D|--7-7--7-777----5-----------3------5--------------|

Most people can relate to this song. It is the complete opposite of the industry manufactured trash to sell platinum. Orange county has some of the best bands

mannn i love this song! basically he likes this girl and hes goin through a rough time and he needs her to be there but she won't and shes just walking away from him.. doesn't really want anything to do with him... and he doesn't get it & is saying how its not fair b/c he was there for her through hard times and will be there for her no matter what... so its just not making sense to him why she can't see what she's doing... ok im done :)
