[Verse 1]
      G              Gsus4
I was caught up in a fever
        G7             G7sus4
In that summer of sixtynine
       Cm        Cm7    Bb      Bbsus2
And my heart was cryin' out for change
           Cm       Cm7    Bb       Bbsus2   G7 G7sus4
And I knew time was comin' when I'd get away


[Verse 2]
     G                  Gsus4
So I moved down to that city
        G7              G7sus4
Where I met a friend of mine
      Cm     Cm7             Bb      Bbsus2
And I must admit he tried to warn me well
     Cm        Cm7      Bb      Bbsus2   C
With all those bad luck stories he could tell

[Chorus 1]
        G                  Gsus4  G7                 G7sus4
He said take the money and run,   take the money and run
  G                Gsus4          G7       G7sus4
Believe it in this town you can't trust anyone
             C                    C7
You're gonna learn that lesson my son
G                  Gsus4 G7                          G7sus4
Take the money and run,  buy yourself a place in the sun
G           Gsus4          G7       G7sus4
 Don't be a fool don't you trust anyone
          C                  C7   F/C                G7  G7sus4
You gotta take the money and run, take the money and run


[Verse 3]
       G              Gsus4
He was broken, he was wasted
          G7                  G7sus4
He'd been brought down to his knee
        Cm        Cm7    Bb      Bbsus2
And his heart was crying out for truth
          Cm      Cm7           Bb      Bbsus2 G7   G7sus4
You could see the whole world's sadness in his eyes


[Verse 4]
     G                    Gsus4
So I took good care of business
            G7             G7sus4
At least as far as I could see
        Cm       Cm7         Bb           Bbsus2
I could read the signs and I knew all the lines
    Cm      Cm7       Bb         Bbsus2  C
But so many times his voice came back to me

[Chorus 2]
G                  Gsus4 G7                      G7sus4
Take the money and run,  get it at the point of a gun
  G                Gsus4          G7       G7sus4
Believe it in this town you can't trust anyone
             C                    C7
You're gonna learn that lesson my son

[Verse 5]
          G                      Gsus4
I've been wanderin' through this wasteland
          G7                   G7sus4
Where the blind go leading the blind
        Cm   Cm7          Bb       Bbsus2
And the only sound on the money-go-round
        Cm      Cm7    Bb      Bbsus2 G7   G7sus4
Was the million voices waiting to be  found


[Verse 6]
        G           Gsus4
I could only hear a whisper
       G7                    G7sus4
It was comin' from the one I loved
        Cm        Cm7    Bb            Bbsus2
And her heart was saying this can't be right
       Cm     Cm7      Bb      Bbsus2  C
All my wasted days and all her lonely  nights
