We are running out of hope, and we are running out of love 
          F              C               F                  C 
And we're running out of everything that I've been dreaming of 
           F              C           F                C 
And we are running out of oil, we are low on light and air 
          F               C                 F                 G 
And we're running out and digging holes and finding nothing there

It just ain't fair, running out

Now, the car won't go, and the pool won't heat 
          F                         C 
And we're eating beans 'cause there ain't no meat 
        F                                                      C 
And the lamps which once lit up our street no longer light the way 
      F     C            F         C 
So we go to bed when the sun sinks low 
            F       C             F          C 
'Cause it's cold at night and the heat won't go 
        F          C             F              C 
And the television studio closed down the other day
