[  F#- ] x2
F#Pain is on the outside
You will not let it in
F#Waving from the window
Freezing from the wind
BYeah, crying at the rainbows
You lock the door aF#gain
Yeah, it's fAreezingE  
But you will not let it in
[  F#- ]
F#Running for the border
Racing with a flag
F#Living like a hoarder
'cept you can't afford a rag
BYou got your nickels buried under
Mamma's pickle F#jar
Yeah you're rAunning
But yEou will not get too fF#ar
Yeah you're rAunning
But yEou will not get too fF#ar
(Guitar solo that I don't feel like figuring out right now...)
F#Mamma's up the river
Daddy's in a jar
F#She said she might get out someday
Then she'll buy a car
BHead out to the country
Forget about the dF#ay
ADaddy tried to hit her, but shEe blew his ass awaF#y           x 3
She blew his ass Aaway, Eaway, aF#way     x 5
[  A   E   F#- ] Repeat until fade out

But you will not let it in

But you will not get too far

Yeah you're running

Then she'll buy a car

Head out to the country

Forget about the day
