Key: A
[Verse 1]
ATime to tie myself down to the A7train track
Gonna relax, and try to exA6plain that I rarely feel alive
Unless AI'm running for my life
ACause I'm over monsters under the A7bed
But I got suspicion in my A6head
That I've got the cure, but I'm not so Asure that I've got the cure
ASo when I hear that whistle blA7ow
A6That's when I know it's time to AgoF D F D
AAll I can do is run
A7All I can do is run
A6All I can do is Arun
ASomeone tell me where to
A7Someone tell me what from
A6All I can do is run
ATime to tie myself down to the A7train track
Gonna relax, and try to exA6plain that I rarely feel alive
Unless AI'm running for my life
ACause I'm over monsters under the A7bed
But I got suspicion in my A6head
That I've got the cure, but I'm not so Asure that I've got the cure
[Verse 2]
AI can remember the Emdays in my life
When my fDuture looked bright back beAfore mom had died
Before AI heard dad coughing up Emblood in his room
And the Ddoctor said "Son, you'll be Ajoining Him soon"
AEverything changed, what was Embright turned to bleak
Cause Deveryone seemed to get Asick, 'cept for me
And my Adad's final cough, where they Emcarted me off
They Dstuck me in hell and they Agave me a cross
And said "ASon, the church is all you've gDot now, got now, Ason
So give your life to DGod now, God
My sonF#m, I know you're C#/Fscared, I know you're A/C#young
Just say your B/D#prayers tonight
Cause Dnobody's gonna comeDm, cause no one loves an orphan"
