Intro
Cm G7 G# D# D#/D x2
[Verse 1]
Cm
While I powder my nose
G7
He will powder his gums
G#
And if I try to get close
D# D#/D
He is already gone
Cm
Don't know where he's going
G7
Don't know where he's been
G#
But he is restless at night
D# D#/D
Cause he has horrible dreams
Cm
So we lay in the dark
G7
We've got nothing to say
G#
Just the beating of hearts like
D# D#/D
two drums in the grey
Cm
I don't know what we're doing
G7
I don't know what we've done
G#
But the fire is coming
D#
So I think we should run
[Bridge]
D#/D Cm G7
I think we should run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Run, run, run, run
Cm G7
Run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
Cm
While I put on my shoes
G7
He will button his coat
G#
And we will step outside
D# D#/D
Checking out the coast is
Cm
clear on both sides
G7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
G#
No, this is suicide
D# D#/D
You can't see the ropes
Cm
And I won't tell my mother
G7
It's better she don't know
G#
And he won't tell his folks
D# D#/D
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
Cm
We'll just keep each other as
G7
safe as we can
G#
Until we reach the border
D# D#/D
Until we make our plan
[Bridge]
Cm G7
To run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
To run, run, run, run
Cm G7
To run, run, run, run
G# D#
[Verse 3]
D#/D Cm G7
Will you stay with me, my love
G# D#
For another day?
Cm G7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
G# D#
When I'm in this state
Cm G7
Will you stay with me, my love
G# D#
'Till we're old and gray?
Cm G7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
G# D#
When these bones decay
[Outro]
Cm G7
Run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Run, run, run, run
Cm G7
Run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Cm G7
Run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Run, run, run, run
Cm G7
Run, run, run, run
G# D# D#/D
Run...
