*Disclaimer this is my first tab addition to the website.
It is my version for guitar, it works great but is not what is used in the original.
They use Capo on 1st with these exact chords. Feel free to do that if you want.

*For the first verse I fingerpick (as shown) because it leads from the intro 
easier, but you can strum as well.
Do quick, short, downward strums and stops. You can listen to the song for the right rhythm.

Verse 1:
Em
Little girl little girl
            C
Why are you crying?
  B
Inside your restless
                   Em
soul your heart is dying
Little one, little one
             C
Your soul is purging
  B
Of love and razor blades
                Em
Your blood is surging


Chorus 1: (Strum Fast and Powerful)
    Em
Runaway
         C   
From the river to the street
     B
And find yourself with
                  Em
your face in the gutter
        Em           C        
Your a stray for the salvation ar-my
      B
There is no place like home
                         Em      Em  (Switch to Picking)
When you got no  place to go


Verse 2:
       Em
Little girl, little girl
             C
Your life is calling
    B
The charlatans and
                 Em
saints of  your a-bandon
         Em (Two Strums)
Little one      little one
           C
The sky is falling
 B
The lifeboat of
                  Em
deception is now sailing
       Em
In the wake all the way
            C
No rhyme or reason
 B
Your bloodshot eyes 
                        Em
will show your heart of treason
          Em (Two Strums)
Little girl       little girl
               C (Two Strums)
You dirty liar
C            B
You're just a junkie
                 Em
Preaching to the choir


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge: (Strumming)
 C
The traces of blood
        G
Always follow you home
         C
Like the Mascara tears
          G
From your getaway
     C
Your walking with blisters
    G
And running with shears
     B
So unholy Sister of grace

Solo: Em C G B E


Chorus 2:
    Em
Runaway
         C
From the river to the street
    B
And find yourself with
                  Em
your face in the gutter
        Em           C
Your a stray for the salvation ar-my
  B                  (Hold Note)
There is no place like home
