[Intro]
 
Em  B7  C  G  G/F#  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
 While I powder my nose
B7
 He will powder his gums
        C
And if I try to get close
G                G/F#
 He is already gone
Em
 Don't know where he's going
B7
 Don't know where he's been
C
 But he is restless at night
G                          G/F#
 Cause he has horrible dreams
 
Em
 So we lay in the dark
B7
 We've got nothing to say
C
 Just the beating of hearts like
G                     G/F#
two drums in the grey
Em
 I don't know what we're doing
 B7
I don't know what we've done
C
 But the fire is coming
G
 So I think we should run
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   G/F#            Em                 B7
I think we should run, run, run, run
  C                  G    G/F#
Run, run, run, run
 Em                  B7
Run, run, run, run
  C                  G    G/F#
Run, run, run, run
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
 While I put on my shoes
B7
 He will button his coat
C
 And we will step outside
G                      G/F#
 Checking out the coast is 
Em
clear on both sides
B7
'Cause we don't want to be seen
            C
No, this is suicide
G                   G/F#
 You can't see the ropes
Em
 And I won't tell my mother
B7
 It's better she don't know
C
 And he won't tell his folks
      G                       G/F#
'Cause they're already ghosts, so
Em
 We'll just keep each other as 
B7
safe as we can
C
 Until we reach the border
G                  G/F#
 Until we make our plan
 
 
[Bridge]
 
    Em                 B7
To run, run, run, run
    C                  G    G/F#
To run, run, run, run
    Em                 B7
To run, run, run, run
 
C      G
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G/F#     Em                 B7
Will you stay with me, my love
           C          G
For another day?
                Em         B7
'Cause I don't want to be alone
                  C        G
When I'm in this state
           Em              B7
Will you stay with me, my love
               C          G
'Till we're old  and gray?
         Em                      B7
'Cause I  don't want to be alone
                  C          G
When these bones decay

C       G    G/F#
 
Em                 B7

C       G    G/F#
Run...
 
Em

When I powder my nose

He will powder his gums

He is already gone
Em
Don't know what we're doing

Don't know what we've done

But the fire is coming

The lyrics are " He will powder his gums " instead of " He will powder his guns" As you've written it. It's a reference on the use of cocaine, in case you were wondering what the hell it means.

Ok I wrote in the chords for the rest of the song :) and you were right about the chord being called B7.

I pluck either the A or E string depending on the chord then strum down (hold) up down up [then repeat the strumming] like ^^^ Em - E B7 - A C - A and then for the G into the G/F# I play G - E down (hold) up down up then pluck E strum once switch to G/F# pluck E strum once and then go into the Em. I think its spices it up haha
