[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] [Ab]
Can you hear [Db] it in [Ab] your streets?
[Fm] Talk so cheap [Db] like [Ab] tumble down
Empty words and dirty deeds
[Fm] Words so deep we [Db] all [Ab] could drown
[Bbm] From a sob, [Db] a world so fine
[Fm] A victim [Eb] postcard never die
[Bbm] And all you [Fm] have [Db] to do is sign
[Fm] Upon that dotted [Eb] line
Take the word [Ab] of one who knows
[Eb] Here it [Db] [Ab] comes, there it goes
[Eb] Get yourself [Ab] out while [Db] you [Eb] can
Save [Db] you [Ab] from the running man
[Db] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] [Ab]
I'll decide what I believe
[F] No one's gonna [Db] [Ab] change me now
I say how [Db] I [Ab] live this life
[Fm] You're not gonna tell me [Ab]
how
[Bbm] From a sob, [Db] a world so fine
[Fm] No more drugs [Eb] and ant crime
[Bbm] Don't you see [Db] for folks like mine
[Fm] Your ways have had [Ab] their time
Heaven [Eb] and hell are [Ab] chosen [Db] [Ab] here
[Eb] You'd best [Db] stop [Ab] praying that it's [Db] not you
[Eb] Get your kids [Ab] out while you can
[Eb] And save them from [Ab] the running man
Take [Fm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Ab] your vision someplace else
And give [Fm] to them your tired [Ab] tails
Can't you hear [Db] those ringing [Ab] bells?
[Fm] Can't you see your dread [Ab] is [Fm] stale?
From a sob, a world so fine
Angels [Eb] drinking each earth and time
[Bbm] Don't you know [Db] we know that [Fm] line?
We've heard it all [Eb] before
Close your mouths [Ab] and close [Fm] your doors
[Eb] You spare [Ab] us all from any [Db]
more
[Eb] Get [Bbm] your guns [Ab] out while you can
[Eb] And save [Db] you [Ab] from the running man
[Eb] Close your mouths [Ab] and close your doors
[Eb] You spare [Ab] us all from any more
[Eb] Get [Db] your guns [Fm] out while you can
[Eb] And save [Ab] you from the running [Eb] man
Close your mouths [Ab] and close [Fm] your doors
[Eb] You spare [Ab] us all from any more
[Eb] Get your [Ab] guns out while
[Db] [Eb] you can
[Ab] [Eb]
