Run Chords

(ver. 1)
Taylor Swift
[Intro]
                      Eb  Bb7sus4 Eb/G Eb  Bb7sus4 Eb/G Eb
One, two, three, four
 
[Verse 1]
            Ab Eb/G Eb                Ab  Eb/G        Eb
Give me the keys,      I'll bring the car back around
             Ab Bb           Eb  Bb7sus4 Eb/G Eb
We shouldn't be in this town
                 Bb7sus4                  Eb
And my so-called friends, they don't know
           Bb7sus4        Eb/G            Eb
I'd drive away     before I    let you go
             Absus2 Bb7     Eb               Bb7sus4 Eb/G
So give me a reason     and don't say no, no
          Fm7                                  Cm
There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote
      Eb            Bb
"I'll wait for you"
          Fm7                            Cm
There's a key on the chain, there's a picture in a frame
     Eb          Bb
Take it with you
 
[Chorus]
    Eb   Absus2 Ab/Bb                    Eb  Absus2 Ab/Bb
And run,        like  you'd run from the law
         Eb        Absus2 Ab/Bb
Darling, let's run
            Eb  Absus2 Eb/G
Run from it all
       Cm           Bb
We can go where our eyes can take us
Ab                       Eb
Go where no one else is, run
Absus2       Eb
Ooh,   we'll run
Absus2 Ab/Bb       Eb
Ooh,         we'll run
Absus2       Eb  Absus2 Ab/Bb Eb
Ooh,   we'll run
 
[Verse 2]
                    Absus2 Ab/Bb  Eb
So you laugh like a child
                   Ab Eb/G       Eb
And I'll sing like no one  cares
          Ab     Bb  Eb/G      Eb  Absus2 Ab/Bb Eb
No one to be, no one to   tell
                 Absus2   Eb/G          Eb
I could see this view   a hundred times
          Absus2        Ab/Bb              Eb
Pale blue sky    reflected    in your eyes
             Absus2 Ab/Bb     Eb               Absus2 Ab/Bb
So give me a reason       and don't say no, no
        Fm7                            Cm
And the note from the locket, you keep it in your pocket
             Eb    Bb
Since I gave it to you
          Fm7
There's a heart on your sleeve
          Cm
I'll take it when I leave
         Eb     Bb
And hold it for you
 
[Chorus]
    Eb   Absus2 Ab/Bb                    Eb  Absus2 Ab/Bb
And run,        like  you'd run from the law
         Eb        Absus2 Ab/Bb
Darling, let's run
            Eb  Absus2 Eb/G
Run from it all
       Cm              Bb
We can go like they're trying to chase us
Ab                       Eb
Go where no one else is, run
Absus2       Eb
Ooh,   we'll run
Absus2 Ab/Bb       Eb
Ooh,         we'll run
Absus2       Eb  Absus2 Ab/Bb Absus2
Ooh,   we'll run
 
[Bridge]
                                   Bbsus
There's been this hole in my heart
                                  Cm7
This thing was a shot in the dark
                                       Absus2
Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart
                                Eb                      Absus2
And I'll hold onto you while we run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
 
[Chorus]
Ab/Bb                    Eb                      Absus2   Ab/Bb
Like  you'd run from the law (And we run, and we run, and we run)
         Eb                         Absus2
Darling, let's run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
            Eb                      Absus2   Ab/Bb
Run from it all (And we run, and we run, and we run)
       Cm           Bb
We can go where our eyes can take us (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Ab                       Eb
Go where no one else is, run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Absus2 Ab/Bb       Eb
Ooh,         we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Absus2 Ab/Bb       Eb
Ooh,         we'll run (And we run, and we run, and we run)
Absus2 Ab/Bb       Eb

Ooh,         and we'll run
