Intro: Am G C F C E7 Am    Dm G C F Bb E7 Am

(Verse I)
        Am           G             C          F   
They're all throwing stones at the back of my home
C           E7          Am
kicking the dirt in the air
     Dm        G                   C            F     
Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned
Bb             E7         Am
Well I had no cause to be there

    Am          G            C              F  
And out of this town while I had something left
C        E7         Am  
bury the fear in my head
          Dm           G              C              F   
Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare
     Bb        E7        Am
It's full of people like me


(Chorus)
       G   G7   C 
We've all run away
G        G7         C          
Everyone wants but nobody needs
G  G7       C  
Silver and gold
     F        E7         F       G
Well everyone wants, but nobody needs


[Interlude (Shorter)] 
Am G C F C E7 Am


(Verse II)
       Am         G            C              F    
Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds
C           E7         Am
St. Francis talking to me
          Dm            G         C        F     
Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure
Bb              E7        Am
If I would just listen to him

        Am         G             C             F   
With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead
       C       E7              Am
Well I quietly listened to him teach
         Dm           G              C                      F 
But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me
Bb           E7        Am
I awkwardly waited for speech


(Chorus)
      G   G7   C  
We've all run away
G        G7        C          
Everyone wants but nobody needs
G  E7      Am    
Silver and gold
F        E7         F      G    
Everyone wants, but nobody needs


[Interlude w/ changed piano part]
Am G C F C E7 Am     Dm G C F Bb E7 Am


Am         G              C            F      
Once I was sure that this love was the truth
     C         E7          Am  
Well I quickly spit in his face
     Dm          G                 C           F     
I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones
Bb            E7          Am 
Bragging that we knew the way
