We Can Run

A E F#m D A E D A E We don't own this place, though we act as if we did, D E It's a loan from the children of our children's kids. Bm A The actual owners haven't even been born yet. A E But we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent, D E Most of it is broken and the rest of it is bent Bm A Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit. 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 E Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, F#m D Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide. A E I'm dumpin' my trash in your back yard D E Makin' certain you don't notice really isn't so hard Bm A You're so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them. A E Well, it's oil for the rich and babies for the poor, D E We got everyone believin' that more is more, Bm A If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then. 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 E Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, F#m D Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide. E A Oh no, we can't hide. F#m E D All these complications seem to leave no choice, F#m E D I heard the tongues of billions 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. A E F#m D A E D A E Today I went walking in the amber wind, D E There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in Bm A I remembered the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine. A E But now it beats down on the asphalt land D E Like a hammering blow from God's left hand Bm A What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine. 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 E Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind, F#m D Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide. E A No baby, we can't hide.
