[intro (x2)]
BRun and hide your head's on fire,
whirling masses, rolling ashes
Edream of morning, grey earth dawning,
life in stasis, 40 paces
[verse]
[slide from B (9th fret barre) to F#]
F#To turn Aaway from the night
EAllowing the light aBlone
F#Is surely Afooling yourself
Leaving Ehalf on the shelf
You'll never knowD  
How low an Aangry heart can Bgo (run and hide your head's on fire)
SoD... hold onto thaAt certain hand as we'rBe turning in
[Repeat verse chords for instrumental, end on B]
[outro (faster tempo)]
BRun and hide your head's on fire,
whirling masses, rolling ashes
Edream of morning, grey earth dawning,
life in stasis, 40 paces
BDoes anybody else here, feel that fear?
EThat none of all these good things had to be,
or is it just Bme?
