Capo 3
Intro: Em B7 C G (G/F#) }x2
Em
When I powder my nose
B7
He will powder his guns
C
And if I try to get close
G G/F#
He is already gone
Em
Don't know where he's going
B7
Don't know where he's been
C
He is restless at night
G G/F#
He has horrible dreams
Em
So we lay in the dark
B7
'Cause we've got nothing to say
C
Just the beating of hearts like
G G/F#
two drums in the grey
Em
Don't know what we're doing
B7
Don't know what we've done
C
But the fire is coming
G
So I think we should run
G/F# Em
I think we should run, run, run
B7 C G G/F#
Em
While I put on my shoes
B7
He will button his coat
C
And we will step outside
G G/F#
Checking out the coast is
Em
clear on both sides
B7
We don't want to be seen
C
No, this is suicide
G G/F#
You can't see the ropes
Em
And I won't tell my mother
B7
It's better she don't know
C
And he won't tell his folks
G G/F#
'Cause they're already ghosts
Em
So we'll just keep each other as
B7
safe as we can
C
Until we reach the border
G G/F#
Until we make our plan
Em
To run, run, run
B7 C G G/F#
Em B7
Will you stay with me, my love
C G
For another day?
Em B7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
C G
When I'm in this state
Em B7
Will you stay with me, my love
C G
'Till we're old and gray?
Em B7
I don't want to be alone
C G
When these bones decay
Em B7 C G
G/F#
Run, run, run
Em
When I powder my nose
B7
He will powder his gun
C
And if I try to get close
G G/F#
He is already gone
Em
Don't know what we're doing
B7
Don't know what we've done
C
But the fire is coming
G G/F#
So I think we should run
