Em                                G
So tell me family now what do you think?
                C                  Asus2(x02200)  (use Asus2 for all A)
Watch it all go down that great big sink.
              Em                  G
watch how the scum rises to the top.
           C                          A
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
             Em               G
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep.
             C                  A 
serving the dodgy companies we keep?
                Em                         G
all kickin n scroungin for the very first place.
         C                      A
dictionary definition of a rat race?
             Em                 G
Pay off the loosers we elect to lead.
                  C                           A
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed.
                    Em              G
enslaving the very clothes off of my backs
            C                   A
I feel the sting but i hear no crack, no crack,

[Chorus](STRUME NG FOR CHORUS - d, udu d, udu ddu)
C                   G
Running through the fire
                    D
running through the flame
                    D
running through the hatred
                     C
pushin through the blame
               G               D
runnin through hopelessness & shame
                        Em.

[Verse 2]
Big Heavy Pirates man digging those holes,    messing with something that they can't control. 
Tresspassing lands where they don't belong,   all I hear is screaming where there once were songs.
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,  fighting over scraps and scraping their souls.
Under a blanket of a fire and pride     that can't keep us warm for the cold inside, 
inside, I'm saying

[Chorus](STRUME NG FOR CHORUS - d, udu d, udu ddu)
C                   G
Running through the fire
                    D
running through the flame
                    D
running through the hatred
                     C
pushin through the blame
               G               D
runnin through hopelessness & shame
                        Em.

[Verse 3]
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?   Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,    open my fist my destiny I take !
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,      we call them kings but I see no crown. 
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up,     say enough is enough is enough,enough I'm saying

[Chorus](STRUME NG FOR CHORUS - d, udu d, udu ddu)
C                   G
Running through the fire
                    D
running through the flame
                    D
running through the hatred
                     C
pushin through the blame
               G               D
runnin through hopelessness & shame
                        Em.
