[Intro]
Gm BbOh,
Cm DYou keep on running, boy
GmLeave me behind
 
 
[Verse 1]
GmPlace each foot with careful precision
Bb'Cause there ain't no looking back
Cm EbIf you want to Go fast, don't stray too far
 
From the beaten track
GmYou'll Go slower if you are different
BbThere's more folks in your way
CmSo Do your work behind the scenes
DAnd be careful what you say
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb D7 GmAnd don't ever stop running
 
 
[Verse 2]
GmIf you slow down for even a second
BbIf you close your eyes to sleep
CmThose demons will catch up to you
EbAnd you will fall in deep
GmSo don't, don't stop, don't rest
BbDon't have no free time
CmYou've always been fast enough
D7To lеave your troubles in the dust
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb D7 GmAnd don't ever stop running
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Eb'Cause if you do, everything you've ever left behind
GmWill catch up to you and you'll have to realise
BbThere's not a single soul on earth
DWho has the stamina to run for their whole lives
EbYou can keep pretending living in the fast lane
GmIs any different than driving in a getaway
BbBut you know to rest
FYou're just on the lam
Eb D GmAnd you won't ever stop running
 
 
[Bridge]
GmOh, woah, woah
Cm DmYou keep on running, boy
CmBut I can't keep up
GmYou can't slow down for anyone
Bb GmSo you drag them along
CmBut they're not fast as you
EbSo they don't last very long
Gm Bb'Cause they're not wanted, not like you are
 
They don't know the stakes
Cm EbThey just hold you back and trip you up
DAnd get in the way
 
 
[Breakdown]
Gm (Bb) So you can let me go
(Cm)Stay straight on your path
(Eb) (D) (Gm)All I did was love you, but I'm tired of running
(Bb) (Cm)So I can just Go home, wouldn't you love that?
(Eb) (D)I can't fix you, so stay alone and stay fast
 
 
[Outro]
Gm Bb Run, run
Cm DmYou keep on running boy
EbRun out of time
Gm BbOh,
Cm DmYou keep on running boy
GmLeave me behind
