Intro: Am G C F C E7 Am Dm G C F Bb E7 Am
(Verse I)
They're [Am]all throwing [G]stones at the [C]back of my [F]home
[C]kicking the [E7]dirt in the [Am]air
Well [Dm]I left to [G]think while they're [C]thinking I'm [F]stoned
[Bb]Well I had no c[E7]ause to be [Am]there
And [Am]out of this [G]town while I [C]had something l[F]eft
[C]bury the [E7]fear in my [Am]head
Well it's [Dm]all just the [G]same cause the [C]city's just as [F]bare
It's [Bb]full of pe[E7]ople like [Am]me
(Chorus)
We've a[G]ll r[G7]un aw[C]ay
[G]Everyone [G7]wants but n[C]obody needs
[G]Sil[G7]ver and g[C]old
Well [F]everyone [E7]wants, but [F]nobody n[G]eeds
(Interlude (Shorter))
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [C] [E7] [Am]
(Verse II)
Well I [Am]ran to the [G]woods and I p[C]reached to the [F]birds
[C]St. Francis [E7]talking to [Am]me
Well they [Dm]said I'd find [G]love in a [C]pain I'd [F]endure
[Bb]If I would just [E7]listen to [Am]him
With my [Am]ear to the [G]ground and my [C]heart full of [F]lead
Well I [C]quietly [E7]listened to him [Am]teach
But with [Dm]tears in his [G]eyes, he just l[C]ooked straight through [F]me
[Bb]I awkwardly w[E7]aited for [Am]speech
(Chorus)
We've [G]all [G7]run a[C]way
[G]Everyone [G7]wants but [C]nobody needs
[G]Sil[E7]ver and [Am]gold
[F]Everyone [E7]wants, but [F]nobody [G]needs
(Interlude w/ changed piano part)
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [C] [E7] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [F] [Bb] [E7] [Am]
[Am]Once I was [G]sure that this [C]love was the [F]truth
Well [C]I quickly [E7]spit in his [Am]face
I ret[Dm]urned to my [G]home, friends and [C]I, we threw [F]stones
[Bb]Bragging that [E7]we knew the [Am]way
(hummed chorus 1x until the end)
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [C] [E7] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [F] [Bb] [E7] [Am]
