Em chordEm Am chordAm
Even the trees shiver
G chordG
When the wind passes through
Am chordAm
Now I'm shivering too
G chordG
At the thought of you
Am chordAm G chordG
In my mind's eye you're like a flower, daffodil
D chordD Am chordAm G chordG
But I can't pick you, rather let you sit still
Am chordAm
Church bells and cooling choirs
G chordG
When I'm down low
Am chordAm
My father calls on a higher power
G chordG
Some lightening bolt
Am chordAm
At times peace washed over me
G chordG D chordD
But I didn't understand
Am chordAm
Rather spend time with the vagabonds
G chordG
I'm the ragged one

Pre-Chorus
Am chordAm G chordG D chordD C chordC D chordD
And ooh where's the rest for the mind?.
Am chordAm G chordG C chordC D chordD
Ooh I'm closing my eyes


Chorus
G chordG Em chordEm
Running boy someday you might dance again
G chordG Em chordEm
Running boy you almost lost your chance
C chordC Bm chordBm
And the cops showed up but I didn't get shot, I
Am chordAm
On the sidewalk with my mother pleading why.
Bm chordBm C chordC Em chordEm
Won't you tell them the truth?


Am chordAm
Packed up my bags
G chordG
Headed down to oceanside
Am chordAm
There's a warning sign
G chordG
Where the river and sea collide
Am chordAm
I can't trust the law
They got quotas
G chordG
They nickel-and-dime
Am chordAm G chordG D chordD
a ticket for the truth, no fine for a lie

Ooh I'm closing my eyes
