A E G D E
You're just a stranger, in the past
A E G D E
Just another mug that could never last
A E G D E
You came up slow but you burned out fast, didn't ya
[Instrumental]
A E G D E
[Verse 2]
A E G D E
Growing up, was your single excuse
A E G D E
Your body was tight, but your head was so loose
A E G D E
I guess I coulda told you, but what's the use
[Chorus]
A E G D E
It ain't, Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
No, it ain't, Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
It ain't, Silver Needles on the run, you make me feel so bad
[Instrumental]
A E G D E
[Verse 3]
A E G D E
You thought you was the only one that got messed up
A E G D E
Me 'n all the others never had it so rough
A E G D E
Well, how come you're dead and I'm still stood up
[Chorus]
A E G D E
Well, it ain't, Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
No, it ain't, Silver Needles on the run. Oh, I remember
[Bridge]
F C
All your plans were made, on some PR floor
F C
'N all your bags were packed, they never reached the door
F C
And over in your thought exchange, all your brains were acting strange
G F
You never lied in dreams before, there must be more to life than getting sore
[Instrumental]
A E G D E x2
[Verse 4]
A E G D E
I seen in some music paper that you was gone
A E G D E
And I went right out and wrote you a farewell song
A E G D E
Boy, they had you dead, before you was born
A E G D E
And it's a shame, you were such a great mover
[Chorus]
A E G D E
But, it ain't, Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
No, it ain't, Silver Needles on the run
[Outro]
A E G D E
Silver Needles on the run
A E G D E
Silver Needles on the run...
