Intro: G+G  A minorAm


Verse I:
  G+G
The Kentucky pill
    C majorC
And a cow tipping expedition
   G+G
And I've seen a fuller moon
     C majorC
Swinging wanton premonition


Pre-Chorus I:

    A minorAm          C majorC            G+G
Did ya ever expect to have more fame than this or that?

[for the violin part just pick G+G]

       A minorAm          C majorC        G+G
Cause there's believing and there's taking off your hat

[violin part: G+G]

       A minorAm         C majorC         G+G
And there's reading and there's reading this or that

[violin part: G+G - A minorAm]


Chorus I:

   E minorEm       G+G
I'm running for my old playmates
  E minorEm         G+G
I'm running through the town
   E minorEm      G+G
I'm running with a gun
       E minorEm         G+G
That's gonna shoot my playmates down

pick Intro again: G+G - A minorAm


Verse II:

     G+G
Did you punch all those clocks?
     C majorC
Did you seal up those time bandits?
      G+G
If you're playing on the swings
      C majorC
You can't be in the sand pit


Pre-Chorus II:


   A minorAm         C majorC         G+G
I lied to you when you wore those other clothes

[ pick G+G ]

    A minorAm         C majorC             G+G
I was into your thinking: where can I get one of those?

[ pick G+G ]

     A minorAm              C majorC           G+G
I woulda picked your brains I would've paid you through the nose

[G+G - A minorAm]

I'm running for my old playmates
  E minorEm         G+G
I'm running through the town
   E minorEm      G+G
I'm running with a gun
       E minorEm         G+G
That's gonna shoot my playmates down

Verse III:

     G+G
And the girls that you see
       C majorC
They're all faster than a train

You see the same girl
     C majorC
But you won't see that face again


Pre-Chorus III:

     A minorAm       C majorC         G+G
Left the changes down to fate and happenstance

[pick G+G]
     A minorAm        C majorC       G+G
Picked a viewpoint oh and how my girl can dance

[ pick G+G]
     A minorAm     C majorC             G+G
Followed empty, realized she was watering the plants

[pick G+G - A minorAm]


Chorus III:

    E minorEm      G+G
I'm running for my old playmates
