Run!
Bb          Ab     G
(Run, run, run, run, run awa-)

[Verse 1] 
 Cm                Bb
You, you need to run away
             Ab
You little run away
           G                       Cm
'Cuz the nightmare will get you soon
            Bb
No need to contemplate
                  Ab
How deeply that you're afraid
              G
'Cause your life is a waning moon
  Ab                Bb                 Cm
It's a matter of time, a matter of time

Don't need to look far to find it
                                    Ab
Every story you tell we're in pursuit
                    Bb
It's all in your mind, it's all in your mind
 Cm

Hey, what was that?

Boo


[Chorus]

Cm         Bb
You can run, but are you fast enough?
Ab             G
You can hide, but I will find you
Cm           Bb
Close your eyes if you don't doze off
Ab               G
Hold your breath so I don't hear you
Cm               Bb
The trail of tears that you will leave me
Ab               G
Will lead me straight to those that fear me
Cm          Bb
You can run if I don't catch you
Ab                 G
But the nightmare time is gonna get you

(Maniacal laughtеr)

[Verse 2]
Cm            Bb
Take every prеcaution, babe
              Ab
Get out the caution tape
          G                 Cm
Cuz the timer is ticking down
          Bb
You even understand
                 Ab
The danger that you are in?
          G                   Ab
You're standing on shaky ground
                     Bb                 Cm
It's a victimless crime, a victimless crime

I'm in your head and you know it

Nothing that you do about it
 Ab                Bb
It's all by design, all by design

(Right behind you)

(Gasp) Where'd he go?


[Chorus]

You can run, but are you fast enough?

You can hide, but I will find you

Close your eyes if you don't doze off
Ab            G
Hold your breath so I don't hear you
Cm             Bb
The trail of tears that you will leave me
Ab               G
Will lead me straight to those that fear me
Cm         Bb
You can run if I don't catch you
Ab            G
But nightmare time is gonna get you
Cm      Bb                       Ab
Run away if you want, if you dare
         G
(The nightmare's gonna get you)
Cm           Bb                        Ab
Just run away if you want, if you dare
           G
(The nightmare's gonna get you)
Cm           Bb                        Ab
Just run away if you want if you dare
  G
(Daddy's gonna get you)
Cm         Bb
You can run if I don't catch you
Ab                   G
But the nightmare time already caught you
