Tom : Dm
Dm Em
We’re on a night run
Am Dm
Boy you better hold your tongue
Em Am
Talking like you coming from kingdom come
Dm Em
Rhythm and reeling
Am
the feeling I’m riding
Dm Em Am
the sound to the ceiling
Dm Em
Never got no money
Am
but I’m running from the gun
Dm
my engines flooded
Em
cold blooded no money
Am
drunk on something uh
Dm Em
Killing the moonlight
Am
with daylight
Dm Em
Got my X-ray eyes
Am
and I’m feeling so fine
[Chorus]
Dm
Night Running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
Dm
We’re running all night running
Am
Cold blooded all night running
Dm
Night running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
Dm
Night running all night running
Am
Cold blooded we’re all night running
[Verse 2]
Dm Em
We’re on the night shade
Am Dm Em
Tell me what we’re hiding from
Am
Like someone could steal it
Dm Em Am
Are we waiting for some kind of feeling
Dm Em Am
Or saving it up for the morning?
Dm Em
Under cover
Am
The cloak and dagger
Dm Em Am
Is there a creature in the attic
Dm Em
Are we for real yeah
Am
Or just pretending
Dm Em Am
Will it burn it out by the morning
[Chorus]
Dm
Night Running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
[Verse 3]
Dm Em
We’re on a night run
Am Dm
No telling who we’re running from
Em Am Dm
In a world of secrets and demons and people hiding from the sun
Em Am Dm Em Am
Sending my message to everyone losing control
Dm Em
Better not stop till I get home
Am
Sentimental flowers don’t grow
Dm
Got to live through tidal waves
Em Am
And parishes and biblical floods
Dm Em
I got the Gris Gris love
Am
And the streets in my blood
Dm
I’m on the final run
Em Am
Falling in and out of love
[Chorus]
Dm
Night Running all night running
Am
Star studded not far from it
