Intro
Am E7 F C C/B x2
[Verse 1]
Am
While I powder my nose
E7
He will powder his gums
F
And if I try to get close
C C/B
He is already gone
Am
Don't know where he's going
E7
Don't know where he's been
F
But he is restless at night
C C/B
Cause he has horrible dreams
Am
So we lay in the dark
E7
We've got nothing to say
F
Just the beating of hearts like
C C/B
two drums in the grey
Am
I don't know what we're doing
E7
I don't know what we've done
F
But the fire is coming
C
So I think we should run
[Bridge]
C/B Am E7
I think we should run, run, run, run
F C C/B
Run, run, run, run
Am E7
Run, run, run, run
F C C/B
Run, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
Am
While I put on my shoes
E7
He will button his coat
F
And we will step outside
C C/B
Checking out the coast is
Am
clear on both sides
E7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
F
No, this is suicide
C C/B
You can't see the ropes
Am
And I won't tell my mother
E7
It's better she don't know
F
And he won't tell his folks
C C/B
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
Am
We'll just keep each other as
E7
safe as we can
F
Until we reach the border
C C/B
Until we make our plan
[Bridge]
Am E7
To run, run, run, run
F C C/B
To run, run, run, run
Am E7
To run, run, run, run
F C
[Verse 3]
C/B Am E7
Will you stay with me, my love
F C
For another day?
Am E7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
F C
When I'm in this state
Am E7
Will you stay with me, my love
F C
'Till we're old and gray?
Am E7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
F C
When these bones decay
[Outro]
Am E7
Run, run, run, run
F C C/B
Run, run, run, run
Am E7
Run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run
Am E7
Run, run, run, run
F C C/B
Run...
