[Verse]
Em                        G
Robert's got a quick hand
      D
He'll look around the room
         A
He won't tell you his plan
     Em                     G
He's got a rolled cigarette
        D
hanging out his mouth
       A
He's a cowboy kid
         Em                      G
Yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
       D
In his dad's closet
       A
with a box of fun things
    Em                   G
And I don't even know what
         D                          A
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                 A
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                 A
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
 
 
[Verse]
Em                    G
Daddy works a long day
      D                            A
He be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
         Em                    G
And he's bringing me a surprise
        D                                A
Because dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice
     Em                     G
I've waited for a long time
          D                          A
Yeah, the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
  Em                      G
I reason with my cigarette
             D
And say your hair's on fire
              A
You must have lost your wits, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                A
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                A
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
 
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                A
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D                A
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Based on the provide tab, it is an Em instead of an E

This is a really great tab. It sounds great if you but the capo on the second fret. Just my thought on that.

I don't know about the real version of the song, but personally I think it sounds better with Em in place of E?
