Intro: AmGCFCE7AmDmGCFBbE7Am
(Verse I) AmGCF They're all throwing stones at the back of my home CE7Am kicking the dirt in the air DmGCF Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned BbE7Am Well I had no cause to be there
AmGCF And out of this town while I had something left CE7Am bury the fear in my head DmGCF Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare BbE7Am It's full of people like me
(Chorus) GG7C We've all run away GG7C Everyone wants but nobody needs GG7C Silver and gold FE7FG Well everyone wants, but nobody needs
[Interlude (Shorter)] AmGCFCE7Am
(Verse II) AmGCF Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds CE7Am St. Francis talking to me DmGCF Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure BbE7Am If I would just listen to him
AmGCF With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead CE7Am Well I quietly listened to him teach DmGCF But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me BbE7Am I awkwardly waited for speech
(Chorus) GG7C We've all run away GG7C Everyone wants but nobody needs GE7Am Silver and gold FE7FG Everyone wants, but nobody needs
[Interlude w/ changed piano part] AmGCFCE7AmDmGCFBbE7Am
AmGCF Once I was sure that this love was the truth CE7Am Well I quickly spit in his face DmGCF I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones BbE7Am Bragging that we knew the way
