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

G#m
When I powder my nose
D#7
He will powder his gums

Don't know what we're doing
D#7
Don't know what we've done
E
But the fire is coming
B B/A#
So I think we should run
