Judy Collins - Run
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
In a country that pretends to learn
G
From tragedy and pain
F Dm Am
Revolution is a never-ending game
The cards are dealt, the odds are known
G
The winners hide away
F Dm Am
Till fortune brings them round again
F Dm E
It's a wound that seems too large to mend
[Chorus]
Am F
I want to run away from it
G Em
I want to run, don't wanna stay for it
Am F
I want to run, far as I can go
G Em
But it's not the answer
Am F
I want to run because I've seen enough
G Em
I want to run, but I can't give up
Dm Am
I won't run____
[Verse 2]
There are those that I believe
G
Have courage fit to lead
F Dm Am
But they say the damage has been done
And that all that's left to do
G
Is hope and pray for miracles
F Dm Am
They've decided that the darkness has won
F Dm E
As if blind to each morning's sun
[Chorus]
Am F
Makes me wanna run away from it
G Em
I want to run, don't wanna stay for it
Am F
I want to run, far as I can go
G Em
But it's not the answer
Am F
I want to run, but I'm never through
G Em
I want to run, there's more that I can do
Dm G
I won't run____
F G
I won't run____
[Instrumental]
G Am F G Em Am F G Em Am F G Em Am F G Em
[Chorus]
Am F
I wanna run away from it
G Em
I want to run, don't wanna stay for it
Am F
I want to run, far as I can go
G Em
But it's not the answer
Am F
I want to run, but I'm never through
G Em
I want to run, there's more that I can do
Dm
I won't run____
F
I won't run____
Dm
I won't run____
G Am
I won't run____
