Intro
Em B7 C G G/F# x2
[Verse 1]
Em
While I powder my nose
B7
He will powder his gums
C
And if I try to get close
G G/F#
He is already gone
Em
Don't know where he's going
B7
Don't know where he's been
C
But he is restless at night
G G/F#
Cause he has horrible dreams
Em
So we lay in the dark
B7
We've got nothing to say
C
Just the beating of hearts like
G G/F#
two drums in the grey
Em
I don't know what we're doing
B7
I don't know what we've done
C
But the fire is coming
G
So I think we should run
[Bridge]
G/F# Em B7
I think we should run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Run, run, run, run
Em B7
Run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
Em
While I put on my shoes
B7
He will button his coat
C
And we will step outside
G G/F#
Checking out the coast is
Em
clear on both sides
B7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
C
No, this is suicide
G G/F#
You can't see the ropes
Em
And I won't tell my mother
B7
It's better she don't know
C
And he won't tell his folks
G G/F#
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
Em
We'll just keep each other as
B7
safe as we can
C
Until we reach the border
G G/F#
Until we make our plan
[Bridge]
Em B7
To run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
To run, run, run, run
Em B7
To run, run, run, run
C G
[Verse 3]
G/F# Em B7
Will you stay with me, my love
C G
For another day?
Em B7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
C G
When I'm in this state
Em B7
Will you stay with me, my love
C G
'Till we're old and gray?
Em B7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
C G
When these bones decay
[Outro]
Em B7
Run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Run, run, run, run
Em B7
Run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Em B7
Run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Run, run, run, run
Em B7
Run, run, run, run
C G G/F#
Run...

When I powder my nose

Don't know what we've done
C
But the fire is coming
G G/F#
So I think we should run
