[Verse 1]
IGf you find that your life would be better off without me 
IDf you run at full speed and it feels good to be free 
IAmf you know it in your soul, though it’s hard to let it go 
You better rGun, you better rDun 
[Verse 2]
IGf you’re lifted from the ground and know you’re never coming down 
BDabe, if you’re a boxer and you can’t stand another round 
SAmhould freedom make a sound and your heart begin to pound 
You better rGun, you better rDun 
[Chorus]
BCut the one thing that I ask 
TEmhat you live without reserve 
TAhat you find out what you need 
It’s sure what you desDerve C  
[Verse 3]
OGh the time that we had, do you think it was a waste? 
FDor, what good’s a memory without some sort of taste? 
AAmnd does the value rise if it cannot be replaced? 
You better rGun, you better rDun

BCut the one thing that I ask 
TEmhat you live without reserve 
TAhat you find out what you need 
It’s sure what you desDerve C

[Verse 1]

If you find that your life would be better off without me

If you run at full speed and it feels good to be free

If you know it in your soul, though it’s hard to let it go

G D

You better run, you better run

[Verse 2]

If you’re lifted from the ground and know you’re never coming down

Babe, if you’re a boxer and you can’t stand another round

Should freedom make a sound and your heart begin to pound

G D

You better run, you better run

[Chorus]

But the one thing that I ask

That you live without reserve

That you find out what you need

D C

It’s sure what you deserve

[Verse 3]

Oh the time that we had, do you think it was a waste?

For, what good’s a memory without some sort of taste?

And does the value rise if it cannot be replaced?

G D

You better run, you better run

[Chorus]

But the one thing that I ask

That you live without reserve

That you find out what you need

D C

It’s sure what you deserve

[Solo]

Em C G G

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh~

Em C G G

You better run

Em C G G E

- - - ||-3-5-7-5

You better run

[Chorus]

Em C G

The one thing that I ask

Em C G

That you live without reserve

Em C G

And I know it hurts for now

Em C G Bm

But there’s always something learned

[Bridge]

Em C G

So don’t turn around, don’t lose your footing now

Em C G

And don’t lose your nerve

Em D G C

Gotta find out what you need

Em D G C

‘Cause it’s sure what you deserve

[Outro]
