F                           Gm
What have you gathered to report to your progenitors?
Am                   Gm
Are your excuses any better than your senator's?
F                            Dm
He held a conference and his wife was standing by his side
C
He did her dirty but no one died

Dm                            C 
I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
       F                       Gm          A#
Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption Song
                        C
He motioned me to the sky
I heard heaven and thunder cry

Chorus:
A#           Dm
Run for cover
               F                    Gm
Run while you can baby, don't look back
                   A#  Dm
You gotta run for cover
            F
Don't be afraid of the fear,
           C
that's a played out trap, man
Am   A#                 C    Dm
You know you're not the only one
A#                         C
And don't look back, just run for cover

What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology?
You think by now you'd have an A in toxicology
It's hard to pack the car when all you do is shame us
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous

I saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong, singing 'the road is long'
I said 'Momma I know you've tried'
But she fell on her knees and cried

Chorus

Am             A#                   Dm
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
          A#                Am
Just to trust him with her nightmares,
           A#
with her dreams
          Dm              C
Now she's running, she's running
          F
Just to trust him
He got big smile, he's fake news
Just run for cover,
you've got nothing left to lose

Chorus:
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back
You gotta run for cover
Don't be afraid of the fear,
that's a played out trap, man
You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run
Run
Run for cover
