If You Run

[First Part]

Em
Hey, now, everybody crowd 'round
Em
Something you should know
Em
Fast break, always a mistake when 
you got nowhere to go
Em      C                 C
You can lie for the honey, lie for 
the wealth
         C                       
You can lie to each other but you 
                             Em
better never lie to yourself

[Second Part]

Em
No sign of any second mind
Em
What she had, she gave
Em
Red hand with another man
Em
There is no one here to save
Em   C
She started out like most of them:
C                                 
Heart full of dreams, a head full 
          Em
of nothing

[Chorus]

Em      C                        
If you run, you better have a 
      Em
place to go
Em      C
If you run, ooh
Em
Run, run, run, run, run
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
Em
Run, run, run, run, run

[Third Part]

Em
Hang tight, she running through the 
moonlight
Em
Waiting on her charms
Em
Deep scars fading in the stars
Em
Fading in each other's arms
Em   C
He took her down to his hiding place
C                                 
All he's bringing back is dust on 
        Em
his face

[Fourth Part]

Em
Stone's throw, tapping at the window
Em
Fools with no plans
Em
Slow wind, broken by design
Em
Be good or be goddamned
Em   C
You think you left it all behind?
       C                           
You're choking on the weeds, you're
  C                     Em
 strung out on the vine

[Chorus]

Em     C  B                     
If you run, you better have a 
        Em
place to go

       B  A  G  B

[Fifth Part]

Em
New age, burning of a page
Em
A brand new dream to sell
Em
Ain't far from who you really are
Em
And it's just as well
Em   C                      C
You lie for the honey, you lie for 
the wealth
     C                   C        
You lie to each other, ain't gonna
                Em
 lie to myself

[Chorus]

Em      C           Bm
If you run, if you run
        C                          
If you run, you gotta have a place 
   Em
to go
