[Chords]
Bm D A F#m C#m E
[Intro]
Bm D A
[Verse 1]
A
If I had all the answers, baby
D A
You'd be the first to know
A F#m
But I know there's no chance of you be-
D A
-lieving you could be wrong
A C#m
I know your master of fire who leaves you
E Bm
stumbling through the night
A C#m
is just a passionate liar who wants to
E
keep you out of sight
[Chorus]
Bm
And with a loaded gun
D
and the things you've done
A
you're out on the run
[Verse 2]
A
Now and then when you come to me with sin-
D A
cerity in your stare
F#m
The foggy ghost of the words you breathe
D A
creep away through the icy air
C#m
It used to fill me with anger
E Bm
You knew just how to break my heart
A C#m
Now you're surrounded by danger
E
like a shadow in the dark
[Chorus]
Bm
And the things you've done
D
Put you on the run, now you're
A
on the run
[Bridge]
D F#m C#m
You say you just can't seem to understand why time
Bm D A
has made you feel the way you do
Bm D
And rationalizing that they're
C#m Bm
in your life of crime: the game
D E
is put the blame on him, not you
[Verse 3]
A
For every law that's rewritten
D A
You have broken another one
F#m
So that you'll be forgiven
D A
for the love that you give no one
C#m
You twist your hair full of madness
E Bm
and then you take another shot and
A C#m
cast a jealous stare at someone
E
else's one you want
[Chorus]
Bm
And with the loaded gun
D
and the things you've done
A
You're out on the run
Bm
With a loaded gun
D
and the things you've done
A
You're out on the run.
