Intro
Fm C7 C# G# G#/G x2
[Verse 1]
Fm
While I powder my nose
C7
He will powder his gums
C#
And if I try to get close
G# G#/G
He is already gone
Fm
Don't know where he's going
C7
Don't know where he's been
C#
But he is restless at night
G# G#/G
Cause he has horrible dreams
Fm
So we lay in the dark
C7
We've got nothing to say
C#
Just the beating of hearts like
G# G#/G
two drums in the grey
Fm
I don't know what we're doing
C7
I don't know what we've done
C#
But the fire is coming
G#
So I think we should run
[Bridge]
G#/G Fm C7
I think we should run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G
Run, run, run, run
Fm C7
Run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
Fm
While I put on my shoes
C7
He will button his coat
C#
And we will step outside
G# G#/G
Checking out the coast is
Fm
clear on both sides
C7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
C#
No, this is suicide
G# G#/G
You can't see the ropes
Fm
And I won't tell my mother
C7
It's better she don't know
C#
And he won't tell his folks
G# G#/G
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
Fm
We'll just keep each other as
C7
safe as we can
C#
Until we reach the border
G# G#/G
Until we make our plan
[Bridge]
Fm C7
To run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G
To run, run, run, run
Fm C7
To run, run, run, run
C# G#
[Verse 3]
G#/G Fm C7
Will you stay with me, my love
C# G#
For another day?
Fm C7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
C# G#
When I'm in this state
Fm C7
Will you stay with me, my love
C# G#
'Till we're old and gray?
Fm C7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
C# G#
When these bones decay
[Outro]

Run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G
Run, run, run, run
Fm C7
Run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G

Fm C7
Run, run, run, run
C# G# G#/G
Run...
