Verse 1:
Em             C               G         B
  I was always blue behind the red-blood stain on my lips
Em                C                G         B                   Em
  You were always green with envy, saw right through the tenderness
               C          G                B
We were like a California sunset, fated to die any minute
Em               C                G                 B
  Gettin' rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
 
Pre-chorus:
    C                    Em
And I was seein' us in a silent movie
G                            A
Takin' off our gloves like a violent crime scene
C                          Em
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
G          (nc)
  Oh, honey
 
Chorus:
                   C         Em
But I know when to run, run, run
               D         A
I know when to run, run, run
               C         G
I know when to run, run, run
               D                    A (nc)
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
                   C         Em
And I know when to run, run, run
               D       A
I know when to run, run
                   C         G
And I know when to run, run, run
               D                    A
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
 
Verse 2:
Em             C               G       B             Em
  I was always blue behind the black mascara that I cry
                C                 G          B                  Em
You could be a sweet as honey but I knew the darkness in your mind
               C               G              B
We were like a gorgeous bed of roses ready to die any minute
Em               C                G                 B
  Gettin' rid of you might be the best thing I ever did
 
Pre-chorus:
    C                    Em
And I was seein' us in a silent movie
G                            A
Takin' off our gloves like a violent crime scene
C                          Em
Diamonds in the cut always know how to fool me
G          (nc)
  Oh, honey
 
Chorus:
                   C         Em
But I know when to run, run, run
               D         A
I know when to run, run, run
               C         G
I know when to run, run, run
               D                    A (nc)
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
                   C         Em
And I know when to run, run, run
               D       A
I know when to run, run
                   C         G
And I know when to run, run, run
               D                    A
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
 
Bridge:
     C       Em     D       A
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
     C       G      D       A
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
 
Outro:
                   (nc)
And I know when to run, run, run
 
I know when to run, run, run
 
I know when to run, run
 
When my makeup does, when my makeup does
