A                               A7
 Time to tie myself down to the train track
                          A6                         
Gonna relax, and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
       A 
Unless I'm running for my life
A                                  A7
 Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
                          A6
But I got suspicion in my head
                                       A
That I've got the cure, but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure
A                              A7
 So when I hear that whistle blow
A6                                A      F    D    F    D
  That's when I know it's time to go

A
 All I can do is run
A7
  All I can do is run
A6                A
  All I can do is run
A
 Someone tell me where to
A7
  Someone tell me what from
A6
  All I can do is run

A                               A7
 Time to tie myself down to the train track
                          A6                         
Gonna relax, and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
       A 
Unless I'm running for my life
A                                  A7
 Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
                          A6
But I got suspicion in my head
                                       A
That I've got the cure, but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure


[Verse 2]
A                  Em
I can remember the days in my life
         D                          A
When my future looked bright back before mom had died
       A                       Em
Before I heard dad coughing up blood in his room
        D                           A
And the doctor said "Son, you'll be joining Him soon"
A                            Em
Everything changed, what was bright turned to bleak
      D                      A
Cause everyone seemed to get sick, 'cept for me
       A                             Em
And my dad's final cough, where they carted me off
     D                         A
They stuck me in hell and they gave me a cross

          A                              D                A
And said "Son, the church is all you've got now, got now, son
                     D           
So give your life to God now, God
      F#m             C#/F                  A/C#
My son, I know you're scared, I know you're young
              B/D#  
Just say your prayers tonight
      D                  Dm
Cause nobody's gonna come, cause no one loves an orphan"

[Verse 3]
A
 I got an old wooden village house
    Em                  
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
      G                                     D
I got anything anybody could ever want, it's true
A
 Baby, the cold made me move down south
    Em
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock

I got anything anybody could ever want
