 D   Em Gdim A G
day?

D                          C 
Witch doctor will say your future is clear
     G 
but I got to be moving away from here
D                   C
like Houdini gonna disappear
      G
this ain't no time to be touching your fear

Chorus:
          D          F
I got to run and hide
              A#      G
'cos I don't wanna die
C           D       F
somebody's gonna cry
          A#         G
I got to run and hide
                            D    F
'cos if I stay it will be suicide
          A#         A
I got to run and hide

I keep on wandering into trouble just get
outta my face
Is there anybody out there looking after this case
I need somebody now to help me and the mess
that I'm in
It's such a long story where do I begin?

Witch doctor will say the future is clear
but I got to move far away from here
like Houdini gonna disappear
this ain't no time for touching your fear

Chorus:
I got to run and hide
'cos I don't wanna die
somebody's gonna cry
I got to run and hide
'cos if I stay it will be suicide
I got to run and hide

I got to run and hide
'cos I don't wanna die
somebody's gonna cry
I got to run and hide
'cos if I stay it will be suicide
I can't be keeping still
and I don't let you get your time to kill
I got to run and hide
