Lyrics

They did n’t warn me

when I was run (Ab)ning wild.

way?

The dra gons breath ing fire in the back yard a fraid at night.

(CN.C.)We live in cir cles

and it’s so hard to breathe time.

May be the same old fears: What have we here?

Don’t bring (Gm)me down

with you.

Now I’m just chas ing time with a thou sand dreams I’m hold ing heav y.

And as we cross the line these fad ing beats have all been sev ered.

Don’t tell me our youth is run ning out.

It’s (Cm)on ly just be gun.

(Be gun be gun be gun be gun...)

If I asked you for good news,

would you smile and (Ab)turn a way?

It’s like a bad dream that is the too yard a fraid to wake.

(CN.C.)There y a mong us

and we’re chang ing all the time.

May be the same old fears: What have we here?

Don’t bring (Gm)me down

with you.

Now I’m just chas ing time with a thou sand dreams I’m hold ing heav y.

And as we cross the line these fad ing beats have all been sev ered.

Don’t tell me our youth is run ning out.

It’s (Cm)on ly just be gun.

(Be gun be gun be gun be gun...)

If I asked you for good (Be gun be gun be gun be gun...)

These (Fm)fad ing (Csus4)beats…

These (Ab)fad ing beats… (Beats beats beats beats beats...)

Now I’m just chas ing time with a thou sand dreams I’m hold ing heav y.

And as we cross the line these fad ing beats have all been sev ered.

Don’t tell me our youth is run ning out.

It’s (Cm)on ly just be gun.

These fad ing (Eb)beats…

A (Ab)thou sand (Eb)dreams…

These (Ab)fad ing (Eb)beats…

A (Ab)thou sand dreams…

it’s on ly just be gun…
