This is how I play the song! Lyrics are my own interpretations.
Suggestions and corrections welcome!
[Verse 1]
D MajorD 
G+G 
F# minorF#m 
B minorBm
You're a crystal blip on a TV screen, there for a second, then you fail to the screams,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD 
A augmentedA E minorEm
And a million righteous scrambled pixels and then there has gotta be some that slip away,
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m B minorBm
You're a scrambled shot on a radio, a plastic blip from a plastic stereo,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
And a million righteous beggars screamed that there has gotta be one that slips away,
D MajorD G+G
You're a notch on the sword, you're a nail in the board,
F# minorF#m B minorBm
You should never be born now with all those plans to abort,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Wishing all those boats back to the edge of the bay, tie them fast and don't let one slip away,
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m B minorBm
You're a broken kid with a shiny tooth, you seal your mouth with the greenest of truths,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
You shall rise in the fall of the Americans, and leave yourself out of some fray,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
You shall float upon the slick of a greasiest day.
[Chorus]
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,
D MajorD B minorBm
Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,
D MajorD B minorBm
Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.
[Verse 2]
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m B minorBm
You're a minister at the end of a dream, taxing a hundred ferries so they might cross your stream,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
So is in the heart of a mariner, who has taken his craft and floated away,
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m B minorBm
You'll say bad hole is a gift to the sun, take this couple cloud and wrap it around well you might be stunned,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Lightning has a way of striking anyone, who stands in the path of an oilman,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Who shall float in the wake of an oilman,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Who shall float upon the slick of an oilman,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
He shall walk onto the sand and say that it's over today.
[Chours]
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,
D MajorD B minorBm
Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run,
D MajorD B minorBm
Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong.
[Bridge]
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
And don't forget that the demons struck, and they blow their homes by the sea,
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
A majorA chair shall rust by the beaches blustery gust of air as it strikes the day,
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
And you don't forget that the demons struck and they blow their homes by day,
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
Today, today! You were righteous! You were righteous today!
[Verse 3]
D MajorD G+G F# minorF#m B minorBm
And you're on the phone, and you pray for snow, and snow is of all, it's no longer snow,
E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Wait on the limbs of a family man, who shall walk onto some stage,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Who shall walk onto some stage,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Who shall harness your audiences rage,
D MajorD A augmentedA E minorEm
Who will play his dark porn on the edge of some stage.
[Chorus/Outro]
E MajorE G+G
When you run, run, run, run!
E MajorE G+G
When you run, run, run, run!
E MajorE G+G
When you run, run, run, run!
E MajorE G+G
When you run, run, run, run!
D MajorD
Because you're wrong.
