Intro: - Em C#m9 C G  G/F#   (2x)   

Em 
When I powder my nose 
C#m9 
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 
C#m9 
Don't know where he's been 
C 
He is restless at night 
G                        G/F# 
He has horrible dreams 

 (repeat this pattern for the whole song)  


So we lay in the dark 
'Cause we've got nothing to say 
Just the beating of hearts like two drums in the grey 
Don't know what we're doing 
Don't know what we've done 
But the fire is coming 
So I think we should run 
I think we should run, run, run 

While I put on my shoes 
He will button his coat 
And we will step outside 
Checking out the coast is clear on both sides 
We don't want to be seen 
No, this is suicide 
You can't see the ropes 
And I won't tell my mother 
It's better she don't know 
And he won't tell his folks 
'Cause they're already ghosts 
So we'll just keep each other as safe as we can 
Until we reach the border 
Until we make our plan 
To run, run, run 

Will you stay with me, my love 
For another day? 
'Cause I don't want to be alone 
When I'm in this state 
Will you stay with me, my love 
'Till we're old and gray? 
I don't want to be alone 
When these bones decay 

Run, run, run 

When I powder my nose 
He will powder his gun 
And if I try to get close 
He is already gone 
Don't know what we're doing 
Don't know what we've done 
But the fire is coming 
So I think we should run
