[Verse 1]
You're a cryDstal blip on a GTV screen, tF#mhere for a second, then you fBmail to the screams,
And a million rEmighteous scrambled piBmxels and then there has goDtta be sAome that sEmlip away,
You're a scrDambled shot on a raGdio, a plF#mastic blip from a plastic stBmereo,
And a million rEmighteous beggars scBmreamed that there has goDtta be oAne that sEmlips away,
You're a noDtch on the sword, you're a nGail in the board, 
You should nF#mever be born now with all those pBmlans to abort,
EmWishing all those boats back to the eBmdge of the bay, tie them fDast and dAon't let one sEmlip away,
You're a brDoken kid with a shGiny tooth, you F#mseal your mouth with the greBmenest of truths,
You shall rEmise in the fall of the AmeBmricans, and lDeave yourself oAut of some fEmray,
You shall fDloat upon the slAick of a greEmasiest day.
[Chorus]
Oh, when you rEun, run, run, run, F#mRun, run, run,
Because you rDun, run, run, because yoBmu're wrong.
When you rEun, run, run, run, F#mRun, run, run,
Because you rDun, run, run, because yoBmu're wrong.
[Verse 2]
You're a minDister at the eGnd of a dream, taF#mxing a hundred ferries so they mBmight cross your stream,
EmSo is in the heart of a maBmriner, who has taDken his crAaft and flEmoated away,
You'll say bDad hole is a gGift to the sun, tF#make this couple cloud and wrap it arBmound well you might be stunned,
EmLightning has a way of strBmiking anyone, who stDands in the pAath of an oiEmlman,
Who shall flDoat in the waAke of an oiEmlman,
Who shall flDoat upon the slAick of an oiEmlman,
He shall wDalk onto the saAnd and say that it's oEmver today.
[Chours]
Oh, when you rEun, run, run, run, F#mRun, run, run,
Because you rDun, run, run, because yoBmu're wrong.
When you rEun, run, run, run, F#mRun, run, run,
Because you rDun, run, run, because yoBmu're wrong.
[Bridge]
And dDon't forget that the deBmmons struck, and they bGlow their homes by the sAea,
A chDair shall rust by the beBmaches blustery guGst of air as it strikes the dAay,
And you dDon't forget that the deBmmons struck and they bGlow their homes by dAay,
DToday, tBmoday! You were righGteous! You were righteous toAday! 
[Verse 3]
And you're Don the phone, and you pGray for snow, and sF#mnow is of all, it's no lBmonger snow,
EmWait on the limbs of a faBmmily man, who shall wDalk oAnto some sEmtage,
Who shall wDalk oAnto some sEmtage,
Who shall haDrness yAour audEmiences rage,
Who will plDay his dAark porn on the eEmdge of some stage.
[Chorus/Outro]
When you rEun, run, run, ruGn!
When you rEun, run, run, ruGn!
When you rEun, run, run, ruGn!
When you rEun, run, run, ruGn!
Because you're wrDong.

F#m

[Verse 1]

D G F#m Bm

You're a crystal blip on a TV screen, there for a second, then you fail to the screams,

Em Bm D A Em

And a million righteous scrambled pixels and then there has gotta be some that slip away,

D G F#m Bm

You're a scrambled shot on a radio, a plastic blip from a plastic stereo,

Em Bm D A Em

And a million righteous beggars screamed that there has gotta be one that slips away,

D G

You're a notch on the sword, you're a nail in the board,

F#m Bm

You should never be born now with all those plans to abort,

Em Bm D A Em

Wishing all those boats back to the edge of the bay, tie them fast and don't let one slip away,

D G F#m Bm

You're a broken kid with a shiny tooth, you seal your mouth with the greenest of truths,

Em Bm D A Em

You shall rise in the fall of the Americans, and leave yourself out of some fray,

D A Em

You shall float upon the slick of a greasiest day.

[Chorus]

E F#m

Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,

D Bm

Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.

E F#m

When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,

D Bm

Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.

[Verse 2]

D G F#m Bm

You're a minister at the end of a dream, taxing a hundred ferries so they might cross your stream,

Em Bm D A Em

So is in the heart of a mariner, who has taken his craft and floated away,

D G F#m Bm

You'll say bad hole is a gift to the sun, take this couple cloud and wrap it around well you might be stunned,

Em Bm D A Em

Lightning has a way of striking anyone, who stands in the path of an oilman,

D A Em

Who shall float in the wake of an oilman,

D A Em

Who shall float upon the slick of an oilman,

D A Em

He shall walk onto the sand and say that it's over today.

[Chours]

E F#m

Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,

D Bm

Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.

E F#m

When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,

D Bm

Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.

[Bridge]

D Bm G A

And don't forget that the demons struck, and they blow their homes by the sea,

D Bm G A

A chair shall rust by the beaches blustery gust of air as it strikes the day,

D Bm G A

And you don't forget that the demons struck and they blow their homes by day,

D Bm G A

Today, today! You were righteous! You were righteous today!

[Verse 3]

D G F#m Bm

And you're on the phone, and you pray for snow, and snow is of all, it's no longer snow,

Em Bm D A Em

Wait on the limbs of a family man, who shall walk onto some stage,

D A Em

Who shall walk onto some stage,

D A Em

Who shall harness your audiences rage,

D A Em

Who will play his dark porn on the edge of some stage.

[Chorus/Outro]

E G

When you run, run, run, run!

E G

When you run, run, run, run!

E G

When you run, run, run, run!

E G

When you run, run, run, run!

Because you're wrong.
