Learning to Run
D D
The house on the corner
D G
Yellow like the sun
D
What can you see there?
D G
After that gun
G A
Can you lay down a prayer?
D
When you’re learning to run
D D
Blood on the pale walls
D G
Broken windows
D
Can you still hear the dour calls?
D G
Of the child-sized ghosts
G A
Do they still walk the halls?
D
Or did they learn to let go?
Chorus
D A
Learning to Run Boys
A D
May save your life
D A
Strangers are near boys
A D
So don’t die by the Knife
D G
Learning to Run Girls
G D
Might keep you alive
D A
When Strangers are near girls
A D
Better Run to survive
What can you see boys
When you fly to the sun
What can you see boys
When you’re faced with a gun
Do you lay down your toys?
When you’re learning to run
What can you see girls
When you fly to the sun
What can you see girls
When you’re faced with a gun
Do you lay down your pearls?
When you’re learning to run
Chorus
Verse Break
I will return one day
When I can handle the pain
To see where my kids played
And left that big stain
But for now I will keep away
Till its washed by the rain
Chorus
CAPO 7 GCD
