[E] [D]
We don't [A] own this place, though we [E] act as if we did.
It belongs to the children of [E] our children's kids.
[Bm] The actual owners haven't [E] even been [A] born yet.
But we never tend the garden and [E] we rarely pay the rent.
[D] Most of it is broken and the rest of it is bent.
[Bm] Put it all on plastic and I wonder where we'll be when [A] the bill's in.
We can run, but we can't hide from it.
Of [D] all possible worlds, [E] we only got one we [A] gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far [E] from what we've got.
Baby, [F#m] we can run, [E] run, but we [D] can't hide.
[B] [A] Well, I'm dumping my trash in [E] your backyard,
[D] making certain you don't know this really [E] isn't so hard.
[Bm] You're so busy with your guns and all of [E] your excuses [A] to use them.
We'll lay soil for the rich and [E] babies for the poor.
[D] We got everyone believing [F#] that more is more.
[Bm] If a reckoning comes, maybe we'll know [A] what to do then.
We can run, but we [E] can't hide from it.
Of [D] all possible worlds, [E] we only got one we [A] gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far [E] from what we've got.
Baby, [F#m] we can run, [C#m] run, run, but we [D] can't hide.
[E] Oh no, we [A] can't hide.
[F#m] All these complications [A] seem to [D] leave no choice.
I [F#m] heard the tongues of billions speak with just [D]
one voice,
[F#m] saying just leave all the [B] rest to me.
[C#m] I [D] need it worse than [A] you, you see.
[Bm] Then I heard [Bm] the sound of one child cry.

Today I went out walking in the [E] air on the wind.
[D] There's a hole in the sky where the light pours in.
I [Bm] remember the days when I wasn't [E] afraid [A] of the sunshine.
But now it beats down [E] on the asphalt land [D] like a hammering blow from [E] God's left hand.
[Bm] But little still grows, cringes in the [A] shades of the nighttime.
We can run, but we [E] can't hide from it.
Of [D] all possible worlds, [E] we only got one we [A] gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far from what we've got.
Baby, we can [F#m] run, run, [E] run, but we [D] can't hide.
Oh no, [A] we can't hide.
We can run, but we [E] can't hide from it.
Of [D] all possible worlds, [E] we only got one [A]
we gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far [F#m] from what we've got.
Run, [E] run, run, but we [D] can't hide.
[E] We can't [A] hide, we can't hide, we can't hide.
We can run, but we [E] can't hide from it.
Of [D] all possible worlds, [E] we only got one we [A] gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far from what we've got.
[F#m] Run, run, run, [D] but we can't hide.
[E] We [A] can't hide, we [F#] can't run, but we can't hide from it.
Of all possible worlds, [E] we only got one we gotta ride on it.
Whatever we've got, we'll never get far from what we've got.
[B] Run, run, [C#] run, but we [Bm] can't hide.
