Chords

[Verse 1]
F
Stuck in a cage
Luck of the draw
A
Hours to wait
Gotta get out Lord, I gotta fight one Get me a key Pick me a lock Gotta be free, ready or not
Em
Gotta run, gotta run

B
Gotta run, gotta run

A
Gotta run, gotta run
[Pre-Chorus]
E                      A
Nowhere to hide cause someone's gotta find you
Trying to breathe when everybody right behind you Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance [Chorus]
A                     Bm  Em
I'm running for the river

Cause the river's been high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me

I'm running for the river

        A                           Em                  A
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell them that you drive
But there ain't no going back They'll never catch me

Tell em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me

Let out the hounds
Stand up the guards Stand up and bow

Better be the boss like the Kennedy's
A fast one

Out of the trees
Into the swamp

Gotta be freaks
They'll never stop

Gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run God damnit, it's a fast one [Pre-Chorus]
Em                      A
