Tom: A
A D A F#m7 E A
Can you hear it in your streets, Talk so cheap like tumble - down
Empty words and dirty deeds Words so deep we all could drown
E D A F#m7 E
Promise of a world so fine A picture-postcard pepper dine
E D A F#m7 E
And all you have to do is sign Upon that dotted line
E D Bm E A
Take the word of one who knows Hear it comes, there it goes
Get yourself out while you can Save you from the running man
A, D, A, F#m7, D, A
A D A F#m7 E A
I'll decide what I believe No-one's gonna change me now
I'll say how I live this life You're not gonna tell me how
E D A F#m7 E
Promise of a world so fine No more drugs, an end to crime
E D A F#m7 E
Don't you see for folks like mine Your ways have, had their time
E D Bm E A
Heaven help the chosen few You best start prayin' it's not you
Get your kids out while you can Save them from the running man

A D A F#m7 E A
Take your vision someplace else Give to them your tired tale
Can't you hear those ringing bells Can't you see your bread is stale
E D A F#m7 E
Promise of a world so fine Angels drinking turpentine
Don't you know we know that line We've heard it all before
E D Bm E A
Close your mouths and close your doors Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can Save you from the running man
E D Bm E A
Close your mouths and close your doors Spare us all from any more
Get your guns out while you can Save you from the running man
