Grateful Dead – We Can Run (Guitar)

         A                         E
We don't own this place, though we act as if we did,

       D                             E
It's a loan from the children of our children's kids.

    Bm                              A
The actual owners haven't even been born yet.

       A                         E
But we never tend the garden and rarely we pay the rent,

D                            E
Most of it is broken and the rest of it is bent

       Bm                                                  A
Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when the bills hit.

       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from it.

       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got one:

            A
We gotta to ride on it.

               A                              E
Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind,

             F#m                         D
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide.

    A                   E
I'm dumpin' my trash in your back yard

       D                               E
Makin' certain you don't notice really isn't so hard

          Bm                                             A
You're so busy with your guns and all of your excuses to use them.

           A                    E
Well, it's oil for the rich and babies for the poor,

       D                       E
We got everyone believin' that more is more,

     Bm                                          A
If a reckoning comes, maybe we will know what to do then.

       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from it.

       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got one:

            A
We gotta to ride on it.

               A                              E
Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind,

             F#m                         D
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide.

   E            A
Oh no, we can't hide.

F#m             E               D
All these complications seem to leave no choice,

  F#m                  E                   D
I heard the tongues of billions speak with just one voice,

         F#m                E
Saying, "Just leave all the rest to me,

  D                  C#m
I need it worse than you, you see."

    Bm
And then I heard...

  A                         E
Today I went walking in the amber wind,

          D                         E
There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in

    Bm                                            A
I remembered the days when I wasn't afraid of the sunshine.

    A                        E
But now it beats down on the asphalt land

       D                   E
Like a hammering blow from God's left hand

     Bm                                A
What little still grows cringes in the shade like a bad vine.

       A                 E
We can run, but we can't hide from it.

       D                   E
Of all possible worlds, we only got one:

            A
We gotta to ride on it.

               A                              E
Whatever we've done, we'll never get far from what we leave behind,

             F#m                         D
Baby, we can run, run, run, but we can't hide.

E                 A
No baby, we can't hide.
