Intro:  0:00 - 0:08
A  C  G  A
A  C  G

Verse: 0:09 - 0:32
                        A        C
I get you ready for the breakdown
G               F               A          C    G
I'm the feeling inside you that just wants to explode
                     A        C
I never sugarcoat a shakedown
   G              F              A               C         G
So empty all your pockets of the things that you think you know

        A
You can bow to the prophet
You can make him an offer
           A
But you're gonna reap what you sow

                        A       C
I get you ready for the breakdown
        G         F
I'm the feeling inside you
    A             C        G
You know you will never control


Chorus: 0:33 - 0:43

D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C                         E
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?


Verse: 0:44 - 1:09

                                A       C
I know the sound that drags you downtown
G                   F           A         C          G
Drags you from your job and the hardwired boredom of house
                            A       C
I see you changing from the neck down
       G                F
Do you walk it like you talk it?
   A              C           G
Or say it just to hear it out loud?
        A
You can drag it for miles

You can make it your style
      A
Never do you much good in the ground

                        A        C
I get you ready for the breakdown
        G           F             A
I'm the something inside you that makes
            C           G
You want to slither and howl

Chorus: 1:10 - 1:21

D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C                         E
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?


Break: 1:22 - 1:51
A (stay on the A-chord for several bars)

One good love so don't let it breakdown
Something in there that never should shutdown
Your precious will
Feed your precious will
Guard your precious will
Your precious will


Verse: 1:52 - 2:15

                        A        C
I get you ready for the breakdown
           G               F
The finest minds of my generation
       A             C          G
All connected to the zeroes and ones
                          A       C
By now you know this is a shakedown
    G             F
So empty all your pockets
       A          C               G
Of the things you thought you had done

  A
I bowed to the prophet
And I did it so often
          A
He said, "man, you look good in my clothes.."

                        A        C
I get you ready for the breakdown
        G         F
I'm the feeling inside you
   A          C    G
It just wants to explode


Chorus: 2:16 - end

D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
D       C                         E
 Do you know what you're runnin' on?
                      A
