Intro
C#m G#7 A E E/D# x2
[Verse 1]
C#m
While I powder my nose
G#7
He will powder his gums
A
And if I try to get close
E E/D#
He is already gone
C#m
Don't know where he's going
G#7
Don't know where he's been
A
But he is restless at night
E E/D#
Cause he has horrible dreams
C#m
So we lay in the dark
G#7
We've got nothing to say
A
Just the beating of hearts like
E E/D#
two drums in the grey
C#m
I don't know what we're doing
G#7
I don't know what we've done
A
But the fire is coming
E
So I think we should run
[Bridge]
E/D# C#m G#7
I think we should run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
Run, run, run, run
C#m G#7
Run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
C#m
While I put on my shoes
G#7
He will button his coat
A
And we will step outside
E E/D#
Checking out the coast is
C#m
clear on both sides
G#7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
A
No, this is suicide
E E/D#
You can't see the ropes
C#m
And I won't tell my mother
G#7
It's better she don't know
A
And he won't tell his folks
E E/D#
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
C#m
We'll just keep each other as
G#7
safe as we can
A
Until we reach the border
E E/D#
Until we make our plan
[Bridge]
C#m G#7
To run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
To run, run, run, run
C#m G#7
To run, run, run, run
A E
[Verse 3]
E/D# C#m G#7
Will you stay with me, my love
A E
For another day?
C#m G#7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
A E
When I'm in this state
C#m G#7
Will you stay with me, my love
A E
'Till we're old and gray?
C#m G#7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
A E
When these bones decay
[Outro]
C#m G#7
Run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
Run, run, run, run
C#m G#7
Run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
C#m G#7
Run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
Run, run, run, run
C#m G#7
Run, run, run, run
A E E/D#
Run...

C#m
When I powder my nose

Don't know what we've done
A
But the fire is coming
E E/D#
So I think we should run
