[Intro]
Em   G   D   A   x4
 
[Verse]
Em                       G
Robert's got a quick hand
      D                             A
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan
     Em                      G
He's got a rolled cigarette
D                             A
Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid
      Em                      G
Yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
       D                      A
In his dad's closet, oh in a box of fun things
Em                    G
I don't even know what
         D                         A
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you
 
[Chorus] (x2)
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Faster than my bullet
 
[Verse]
Em                    G
Daddy works a long day
      D                         A
He be coming home late, and he's coming home late
         Em                    G
And he's bringing me a surprise
        D                                A
'Cause 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                             A
And say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits," yeah
 
[Chorus] (x2)
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Faster than my bullet
 
[Interlude]
Em   G   D   A   x2
(run run run)
Em   G   D   A   x2
(whistle)
 
[Chorus] (x2)
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Outrun my gun
Em                          G
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
             D
You'd better run, better run
A
Faster than my bullet
