On The Run Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][Bm]
[G][C][G]
[C]I lit

[Verse 1]
a burning log
Left food out for the dogs and tip[G]toed down
I put [C]the shoes on by the door
Those creakin' wooden boards
didn't make [G]a sound

[Verse 2]
[G]
I'll be think[C]in' of you, love
I'll be missin' your sweet touch
But [G]I've got far to go

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm on [C]the run
I've been standin' still for way [G]too long
I wanna live like I'm [C]forever young
Tryna hold it down just ain't no [G]fun
I'll pack a bag and leave
before the [C]sun
And I'll take the long wind
[G]in' roads
And when they call,
blame it on rock an[C]d roll
Start again, forget the things [G]I've done
If they ask you where I've gone,
I'm on the run
[C](I'm on [G]the run, I'm on the run)

[Verse 4]
You've [C]been a little lost
Workin' 'round the clock
toein' [G]the line
You're in [C]a world you don't belong
Tryna find your way back home
But you could [G]stay a while
on the passenger side
There's books to read
and songs to write
If you [C]wanna leave this town
I could turn the car around
You [G]could say your goodbyes
Get out of here tonight

[Verse 5]
Come on [C]the run
'Cause you've been standin'
still for way [G]too long
Life's too short to not live
while [C]you're young
Tryna hold it down just ain't [G]no fun
Let's pack a bag and leave
before [C]the sun
And we'll take the long
[G]windin' roads
And drive up to the lochs
I used [C]to know
You can buy a postcard,
write it to [G]your mum
Sayin' you miss her, but for now,
you're on [C]the run
(I'm on the run)

[Verse 6]
Try to hold [C]me down, oh,
I'll go on the run (go on [G]the run)
Let's leave this town tonight,
come on the run [C](come on the run)
We could spend our lives on [G]the run
