Then use the same chord shapes, but strum instead: here's the chords

However: with the Asus4, when strumming, hammer off the B string 3rd fret onto the 2nd fret and then back up:
listen to the recording and you'll get a feel for it.
Strum through twice, then go back to the picked pattern again before the verse.
[Verse]
Same pattern as intro, up until "...that happened...", then begin to strum
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Put that song on again, I didn't catch the name
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7
But don't drone on again, how it's my fault, how I'm to blame
Asus4 G Asus4 Dsus2
For everything that happened, back in Kansas, I'm running away
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
I guess we're lost again, our car rolls on down highway forty nine
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Your arms are crossed again, I know that you're silently judging me, but my job is on the line
G A
as we cross the border the snow turns to rain
[Chorus 1]
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
I'm running away and I will not go gently into that cold dark night
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
I've been driving for hours and I'm too tired to fight
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Let me go Let me go
[Bridge]
G / A / G / A
G A G A (ring out)
I want to go home, I want to go home... But I am home!
[Chorus 2]
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
And I will not go gently into that cold dark night
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
I've been driving for hours and I'm too tired to fight
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Let me go Let me go
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
And I will not go gently into that cold dark night
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
I've been driving for hours and I'm too tired to fight
Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4 Dsus2 D7sus2/C Em7 Asus4
Let me go Let me go
[Outro]
Dsus2 / D7sus2/C / Em7 / Asus4 Dsus2 / D7sus2/C / Em7 / Asus4 / D
I'm running away.. I'm running away...

LYRICS
put that song on again
I didn't catch the name
but don't drone on again
how it's my fault, how I'm to blame
for everything that happened back in Kansas
I'm running away!
I guess we're lost again
our car rolls on down highway 49
your arms are crossed again
I know that you're silently judging me, but my job is on the line
as we cross the border the snow turns to rain
I'm running away
and I will not go gently into that cold dark night
I've been driving for hours and I'm too tired to fight
let me go {x2}
(there's nothing in these shadows but these hands
reaching out to sad young frightened men
the loneliest people in the whole wide world
are the ones you're never gonna see again)*
I want to go home
I want to go home
but I am home
and I will not go gently into that cold dark night
I've been driving for hours and I'm too tired to fight
let me go, let me go
{x2}
I'm running away {x2}
