Intro
Verse i
The Kentucky pill
And a cow tipping expedition
And I've seen a fuller moon
Swinging wanton premonition
Pre-chorus i
Did ya ever expect to have more fame than this or that?
[for the violin part just pick ]
Cause there's believing and there's taking off your hat
[violin part: ]
And there's reading and there's reading this or that
[violin part: - ]
Chorus i
I'm running for my old playmates
I'm running through the town
I'm running with a gun
That's gonna shoot my playmates down
pick Intro again: -
Verse ii
Did you punch all those clocks?
Did you seal up those time bandits?
If you're playing on the swings
You can't be in the sand pit
Pre-chorus ii
I lied to you when you wore those other clothes
[ pick ]
I was into your thinking: where can I get one of those?
[ pick ]
I woulda picked your brains I would've paid you through the nose

Chorus ii
I'm running for my old playmates
I'm running through the town
I'm running with a gun
That's gonna shoot my playmates down

Oh I'm running
Oh oh yes I'm running
Oh I'm running
Oh oh oh

Verse iii
And the girls that you see
They're all faster than a train
You see the same girl
But you won't see that face again
Pre-chorus iii
Left the changes down to fate and happenstance
[pick ]
Picked a viewpoint oh and how my girl can dance
[ pick ]
Followed empty, realized she was watering the plants
[pick - ]

I'm running for my old playmates
I'm running through the town
I'm running with a gun
That's gonna shoot my playmates down
Bridge ii

Oh I'm running
Oh oh yes I'm running
Oh I'm running
Oh oh oh
