We Can Run

A   E   F#m  D
A   E   D

[Verse 1]
         A                         
We don't own this place, though we 
E
act as if we did,
       D                           
It's a loan from the children of 
  E
our children's kids.
    Bm                             
The actual owners haven't even been
 A
 born yet.

[Verse 2]
       A                        
But we never tend the garden and 
 E
rarely we pay the rent,
D                            E
Most of it is broken and the rest of
 it is bent
       Bm                          
Put it all on plastic and I wonder 
                        A
where we'll be when the bills hit.

[Chorus]
       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from 
it.
       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got 
one:
            A
We gotta to ride on it.
               A                   
Whatever we've done, we'll never 
           E
get far from what we leave behind,
             F#m                   
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we 
      D
can't hide.

[Verse 3]
    A                   E
I'm dumpin' my trash in your back 
yard
       D                       
Makin' certain you don't notice 
        E
really isn't so hard

          Bm                     
You're so busy with your guns and 
                        A
all of your excuses to use them.

[Verse 4]
           A                   
Well, it's oil for the rich and 
 E
babies for the poor,
       D                       E
We got everyone believin' that more 
is more,
     Bm                            
If a reckoning comes, maybe we will
              A
 know what to do then.

[Chorus]
       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from 
it.
       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got 
one:
            A
We gotta to ride on it.
               A                   
Whatever we've done, we'll never 
           E
get far from what we leave behind,
             F#m                   
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we 
      D
can't hide.
   E            A
Oh no, we can't hide.

[Bridge]
F#m             E               
All these complications seem to 
D
leave no choice,
  F#m                  E      
I heard the tongues of billions 
             D
speak with just one voice,
         F#m                E
Saying, "Just leave all the rest to 
me,
  D                  C#m
I need it worse than you, you see."
    Bm
And then I heard...
N.C.
The sound of one child crying.

[Verse 5]
  A                         E
Today I went walking in the amber 
wind,
          D                        
There's a hole in the sky where the
 E
 light pours in
    Bm                             
I remembered the days when I wasn't
               A
 afraid of the sunshine.

[Verse 6]
    A                        E
But now it beats down on the asphalt
 land
       D                   E
Like a hammering blow from God's 
left hand
     Bm                            
What little still grows cringes in 
    A
the shade like a bad vine.

[Chorus]
       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from 
it.
       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got 
one:
            A
We gotta to ride on it.
               A                   
Whatever we've done, we'll never 
           E
get far from what we leave behind,
             F#m                   
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we 
      D
can't hide.
E                 A
No baby, we can't hide.
