• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Gm

♫ Intro:

Gm Bb
Oh,
            Cm        D
You keep on running, boy
Gm
Leave me behind


♫ Verse 1:
Gm
Place each foot with careful precision
             Bb
'Cause there ain't no looking back
       Cm                                    Eb
If you want to go fast, don't stray too far

From the beaten track
Gm
You'll go slower if you are different
        Bb
There's more folks in your way
   Cm
So do your work behind the scenes
       D
And be careful what you say


♫ Chorus:
    Eb      D7        Gm
And don't ever stop running


♫ Verse 2:
   Gm
If you slow down for even a second
   Bb
If you close your eyes to sleep
      Cm
Those demons will catch up to you
    Eb
And you will fall in deep
   Gm
So don't, don't stop, don't rest
         Bb
Don't have no free time
Cm
You've always been fast enough
   D7
To lеave your troubles in the dust


♫ Chorus:
    Eb      D7        Gm
And don't ever stop running


♫ Post-Chorus:
              Eb
'Cause if you do, everything you've ever left behind
           Gm
Will catch up to you and you'll have to realise
              Bb
There's not a single soul on earth
                       D
Who has the stamina to run for their whole lives
        Eb
You can keep pretending living in the fast lane
       Gm
Is any different than driving in a getaway
             Bb
But you know to rest
              F
You're just on the lam
        Eb      D         Gm
And you won't ever stop running


♫ Bridge:
Gm
Oh, woah, woah
             Cm         Dm
You keep on running, boy
             Cm
But I can't keep up
    Gm
You can't slow down for anyone
    Bb               Gm
So you drag them along
     Cm
But they're not fast as you
               Eb
So they don't last very long
       Gm                  Bb
'Cause they're not wanted, not like you are

They don't know the stakes
           Cm              Eb
They just hold you back and trip you up
     D
And 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          Dm
You keep on running boy
       Eb
Run out of time
Gm Bb
Oh,
             Cm         Dm
You keep on running boy
             Gm
Leave me behind
