[Verse]
B
See the night train round the corner
     Bb    G#m                C#    E
Slam the brakes, door slides open
        B    F#           B
Time to go and meet your fate
B
All the cards are stacked against you
Bb    G#m                C#    E
And your legs can't support you
        B    F#           B
Let me hold you one last time

[Chorus]
           B              G#m
And then scramble in the bushes,
 hide in the trees
E                 B           F#
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
B              G#m
I can hear the eagles'
 terrible scream
E                 B             F#
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
E        D#m   C#m
Raven, raven, all I can
             F#
do is keep praying
E           D#m   C#m
Raven, oh, raven, I hear
       F#        G#m
them coming for you
[Verse]
B
Teachers gather (gather) on
All Saints' Day (on All Saints' Day)
           Bb    G#m      C#    E
And though they try, they can't help you
        B           F#           B
They overwhelm you with advice

[Chorus]
           B              G#m
And then scramble in the bushes,
 hide in the trees
E                 B           F#
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
B              G#m
I can hear the eagles'
terrible scream
E                 B             F#
Run, raven, run, run, raven, run
E        D#m   C#m
Raven, raven, all I can
              F#
do is keep praying
E           D#m   C#m
Raven, oh, raven, I hear
       F#        G#m
them coming for you

[Bridge]
B
It's tearing me apart,
                  D#m
 leaves me in a daze
                  E
I'm your spirit animal
                C#m
and I'm going cannibal
              B    E   D#m C#m
There's only you, you, you
      B    E   D#m C#m   B
Only you, you, you, only you
