Dmaj7 C#m F#m Dmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m F#m Dmaj7 C#m F#m E
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 Amaj7
You said the noise from the freeway
Am
Keeps you up so you sleep all day
A C#m Bm7
The walls are empty in your new place
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
You said all your friends live out of state
Amaj7
You have been left without a warning
Am
Getting up before the morning light
A C#m Bm7
It's nothing new, it's what you're used to
E Dmaj7
And everyone knows you're just that type
[Chorus]
A F#m Dmaj7
And every time that you're feeling down
Am F#m Dmaj7
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
A F#m E
Now you're alone and it goes to show
That you can't run forever
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 D Amaj7
There's not a trace of where you been before
A7
And there's a mattress on your bedroom floor
Bm7
You stick around until you're tied down
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
And you feel like walking out the door
Amaj7
You say you wanna be a new face
Am7
You wanna go where no one knows your name
A Bm7
And everyone that you run into
E Dmaj7
It's just a new chance to state your case
[Chorus]
C#m F#m Dmaj7
And every time that you're feeling down
C#m D Dmaj7
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
Am F#m E
Now you're alone and it goes to show
Dmaj7
That you can't run forever
C#m F#m D
You got the blues in the ocean air
C#m F#m D
New pair of shoes and you colored your hair
E F#m E
It's just the way that the story goes
Honey, you can't run forever
[Interlude]
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
The next time you're sitting at the door
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Thinking that it's time for a change
D
Well, you just might find when you open your eyes
E
That the mirror in the next town looks the same
[Interlude]
Dmaj7 D C#m F#m D Bm Em F#m Dmaj7 D Em F#m E
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 A F#m Dmaj7
And every time that you're feeling down
Em F#m Dmaj7
You hitch a ride and you head outta town
Em F#m E
Now you're alone and it goes to show
Dmaj7
That you can't run forever
Em F#m D
You got the blues in the ocean air
E F#m Dmaj7
New pair of shoes and you colored your hair
F#m E
It's just the way that the story goes
