We're Running Out - Albert Hammond
[Intro]
|  A   E| % | % | % | % |
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm Awitnessing something I'd Enever have dreamed of Aeven a couple of Eyears ago
AFamilies screaming and Erunning about, Aringing their hands in the Esky, singing
[Bridge]
ANo, no, no, not oEur generation
ANo, no, no, not Eour generation
ANo, no, no, not Eour generation
ATell us it's a Elie!
[Chorus]
EWe're running Aout, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
EWe're running Aout, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
[Verse 2]
We are Arunning out of Ehope, and we are Arunning out of Elove
And we're Arunning out of Eeverything that AI've been dreaming Eof
And we are Arunning out of Eoil, we are Alow on light and Eair
And we're Arunning out and Edigging holes and Afinding nothing thBere
[Chorus]
EIt just ain't Afair, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
EThere's nothing Athere, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
[Verse 3]
Now, the Acar won't Ego, and the Apool won't Eheat
And we're Aeating beans 'cause there Eain't no meat
And the Alamps which once lit up our street no longer light the Eway
So we Ago to Ebed when the Asun sinks Elow
'Cause it's Acold at Enight and the Aheat won't Ego
And the Atelevision Estudio closed Adown the other Eday
[Chorus]
EHey, hey, hey, Ahey, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
EHey, hey, hey, Ahey, Erunning out
BYou know we're running Eout
[Outro]
ANo, no, no, not oEur generation
ANo, no, no, not Eour generation
ANo, no, no, not Eour generation
ATell us it's a Elie!
