Intro: A minorAm G+G C majorC FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm  DmDm G+G C majorC FF Bb majorBb E7E7 A minorAm

(Verse I)
    A minorAm      G+G       C majorC     FF
They're all throwing stones at the back of my home
C majorC      E7E7     A minorAm
kicking the dirt in the air
   DmDm    G+G          C majorC      FF
Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned
Bb majorBb       E7E7     A minorAm
Well I had no cause to be there

  A minorAm     G+G      C majorC       FF
And out of this town while I had something left
C majorC    E7E7     A minorAm
bury the fear in my head
     DmDm      G+G       C majorC       FF
Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare
   Bb majorBb    E7E7    A minorAm
It's full of people like me

(Chorus)
    G+G  G7G7  C majorC
We've all run away
G+G    G7G7     C majorC
Everyone wants but nobody needs
G+G G7G7    C majorC
Silver and gold
   FF    E7E7     FF    G+G
Well everyone wants, but nobody needs


[Interlude (Shorter)]
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm


(Verse II)
    A minorAm     G+G      C majorC       FF
Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds
C majorC      E7E7     A minorAm
St. Francis talking to me
     DmDm      G+G     C majorC    FF
Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure
Bb majorBb       E7E7    A minorAm
If I would just listen to him

    A minorAm     G+G       C majorC       FF
With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead
    C majorC    E7E7       A minorAm
Well I quietly listened to him teach
     DmDm      G+G       C majorC           FF
But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me
Bb majorBb      E7E7    A minorAm
I awkwardly waited for speech

(Chorus)
   G+G  G7G7  C majorC
We've all run away
G+G    G7G7    C majorC
Everyone wants but nobody needs
G+G E7E7   A minorAm
Silver and gold
FF    E7E7     FF   G+G
Everyone wants, but nobody needs


[Interlude w/ changed piano part]
A minorAm G+G C majorC FF C majorC E7E7 A minorAm   DmDm G+G C majorC FF Bb majorBb E7E7 A minorAm


A minorAm     G+G       C majorC      FF
Once I was sure that this love was the truth
   C majorC     E7E7     A minorAm
Well I quickly spit in his face
   DmDm     G+G         C majorC      FF
I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones
Bb majorBb      E7E7     A minorAm
Bragging that we knew the way


[hummed chorus 1x until the end]
