So, I am an amateur so please send corrections to pdxtarek@gmail.com
This is just some sort of improv.
In the bridge, there's an Asus2 which you play like this ( took me AGES to figure
out that it's not a normal A-major)

Intro: G Am
Verse I:
The [G]Kentucky pill
And a c[C]ow tipping expedition
And I'[G]ve seen a fuller moon
Swinging w[C]anton premonition
Pre-Chorus I:
Did ya [Am]ever expect to have m[C]ore fame than this or tha[G]t?
[for the violin part just pick G]
Cause there's [Am]believing and there's [C]taking off your h[G]at
[violin part: G]
And there's re[Am]ading and there's r[C]eading this or tha[G]t
[violin part: G - Am]
Chorus I:
I'm r[Em]unning for my o[G]ld playmates
I'm [Em]running through the[G] town
I'm r[Em]unning with a [G]gun
That's gonna [Em]shoot my playmates [G]down
pick Intro again: G - Am
Verse II:
Did you p[G]unch all those clocks?
Did you s[C]eal up those time bandits?
If you're p[G]laying on the swings
You can't b[C]e in the sand pit
Pre-Chorus II:
I lie[Am]d to you when you w[C]ore those other clo[G]thes
[ pick G ]
I was i[Am]nto your thinking: [C]where can I get one of tho[G]se?
[ pick G ]
I woulda [Am]picked your brains I would've [C]paid you through the n[G]ose
[G] [-] [Am]
Chorus II:
I'm r[Em]unning for my o[G]ld playmates
I'm [Em]running through the[G] town
I'm r[Em]unning with a [G]gun
That's gonna [Em]shoot my playmates [G]down
Bridge I :
I am ru[Am]nning
Oh I'm r[Em]unning
Oh o[Gsus2]h yes I'm r[Am]unning
Oh I'm r[Em]unning
Oh oh[Gsus2] oh
[ pick G - Am ]
Verse III:
And the g[G]irls that you see
They're all f[C]aster than a train
You s[G]ee the same girl
But you wo[C]n't see that face again
Pre-Chorus III:
Left the c[Am]hanges down to [C]fate and happenstan[G]ce
[pick G]
Picked a v[Am]iewpoint oh and ho[C]w my girl can d[G]ance
[ pick G]
Followed e[Am]mpty, realiz[C]ed she was watering the pl[G]ants
[pick G - Am]
Chorus III:
I'm run[Em]ning for my o[G]ld playmates
I'm ru[Em]nning through the t[G]own
I'm ru[Em]nning with a [G]gun
That's gonna s[Em]hoot my playmates d[G]own
Bridge II :
Oh I'm r[Am]unning
Oh I'm ru[Em]nning
Oh o[Gsus2]h yes I'm runn[Am]ing
Oh I'm r[Em]unning
Oh oh [Gsus2]oh
