A         E        A       D
Well we come with what was on our backs
               A          E        A          D
Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
                 A     E        A          D
Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round
        A         E       A      D
When we laid our blankets on the ground
           F#m
Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry
        D
Lookin' straight into the sun
           F#m
And left a cold night on the ground
       D              E D E D
Like a dog on the run --


[VERSE 2]
           A         E         A    D
I fell overboard and washed up on a beach
        A        E         A    D
Let the waves of sand roll over me
               A             E         A              D
Yeah and I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
                A                                  E               A          D
I said "honey, I discovered early in life, there's ways of getting anything I want"
     F#m
Yeah some of us are different
          D
It's just something in our blood
           F#m
There's no need for explanations
          D               E D E D                     (A ... into G  O)
E|t's| just dogs on the run --    It's just dogs on the run

[G  O]

E D E D

[VERSE 3]
        A         E        A      D
Yes the room was painted blue and gray
        A       E             A      D
All the meals came to me on a silver tray
               A         E            A      D
Yeah she would laugh and light my cigarettes
                 A                          E                 A          D
She said "honey, ain't it funny how a crowd gathers 'round anyone living life without a net"
                 F#m
Yeah and they'll beg you for the answer
         D
It won't never be enough
           F#m
There's no way you could ever tell 'em
          D               E D         E D                      (A)
E|t's| just dogs on the run -- Yes it is, it's just dog's on the run
A E A D
        It's just dogs on the run babe
A E A D
        Just like a dog on the run
       A   E A      D
Like a d-o-g on the run
            A           E A D
Yeah like a dog, like a d-o-g
       A   E A      D
Like a d-o-g on the run... yeah
