The Runaround chords by Wild Child

Chords with lyrics

Artist: Wild Child
Song: The Runaround
Tab interpreter: David Codington


Note: Please be aware that, as numerous and unusual the chords in this song,
there are bound to be a few here that are up for interpretation.

For example, in the progression "Em, A, Bm, F#," the F#F# may very well be an F#m.
It's a tricky chord. Also, the D MajorD above "Wrap your legs..." may be a Bm.
I couldn't stick with B minorBm because it clearly sounds (in the song) that there is a chord change in the spot.

Interpret how you will! I've done my best.

"The Runaround"

(Don’t mean to give the run around)---- Em, A, Bm, (quickly) B minorBm A augmentedA G+G F#F# 4

E minorEm
I have found
A augmentedA
Don’t mean to give the run around
B minorBm               B minorBm A augmentedA G+G F#F#
Thinking if we find the sound that makes us both complete
E minorEm
Take it back
A augmentedA
And make it all okay again

For us to be alone my friend

Stop looking for relief

Step back forget about the promises you told
C majorC            BB
Can’t keep the things you love when you’re too weak to hold


C# minorC#m    A augmentedA

I'm looking up when you seem down, just don't feel right to me
E minorEm
Let it go
          A augmentedA
If I come back I'll let you know
        B minorBm
Don't hold your breath until then, though
         B minorBm A augmentedA G+G F#F#
Be happy that your free

I curse the way I let you stay another day well I was too tired to twist my tongue in any other kind of say
F# minorF#m
I toss you toward the door yelling that this will be the last time
D MajorD                                 G+G
Wrap your legs around my back into our bed we’ll attack each other softly screaming loudly under pillows
          F#F#
Praying yells that, this feeling for you is no more,
G+G                                        F#F#
We better pray that it’s a good one cause I’m starting to get the feeling when we finish baby I’m out the door
