 Am7
Heavy eyes heavier skin
 Am7
Can't describe this place that I’m in
 Fmaj7
Don't look down don't look back
 Fmaj7
Can't lose hope can't lose track
 Am7
Reach inside pull out the cold
      Am7
Cause I get tired and that gets old
Fmaj7
I'm not scared my head's on straight
Fmaj7
It's right here and I can't wait

Chorus:
 Am
Yesterday so far away
 Am
Tomorrow so far to go
F
I can't stay no time for fun
     F
The long road waits
                Am
And I’m on the run
            C    G
I’m on the run

Last in line first to the red
Distant light somewhere ahead
All alone caught in between
The world gets cold and I get mean
The world wakes up the light's so strong
The daylight fades it won't be long
The night gets dark and I get wild
I can't help it that's my style

Chorus:
 Am
Yesterday so far away
 Am
Tomorrow so far to go
F
I can't stay no time for fun
     F
The long road waits
                Am F E7
And I’m on the run

 Am
Yesterday so far away
 Am
Tomorrow so far to go
F
I can't stay no time for fun
     F
The long road waits and I’m on the run
 Am
Yesterday so far away
 Am
Tomorrow so far to go
F
I can't stay no time for fun
     F
The long road waits
                Am F E7
And I’m on the run

            Am  F
I’m on the run
G           Am
I’m on the run
