D                                  
I was running crazy, I was running wild. 
G 
Living on the edge, yeah I was living in the skies. 
C                                G 
My hands starts shaking like the streets of Hollywood. 
D 
My mind was wasted, I still did the best I could. 


D 
One day I left town with just the shirt on my back. 
G 
And a guitar on my shoulder, yeah I wasn't coming back. 
C                                G 
I had to break the spell that my heart was under 
D 
So I rolled out of town on wheels of thunder. 

Em                                         G 
And I will never forget what my mother said. She said... 



      D5            C5 
      Run baby run, cross New York City 
      D5                   A#5         C5 
      Run baby run, to the streets of L.A. 
      D5                     C5 
      Run baby run, yeah you can't slow down. 
      A#5                C5                        D5 
      You can never stay when you're living like a runaway. 


Main riff, only 2nd part 

D 
I remember when I was seventeen. 
G 
Riding in the back of a black limousine. 
C                                       G 
I used to stare at the sun, and ask for God to please guide me. 
D 
In the right direction. 

D 
I didn't know where I was going.  
G 
I didn’t know where I was gonna stay. 
C                             G 
All I knew is that I was going far far away. 
Em                              G 
And it still feels like yesterday, when he says... 

 

      D5            C5 
      Run baby run, cross New York City 
      D5                   A#5         C5 
      Run baby run, to the streets of L.A. 
      D5                     C5 
      Run baby run, yeah you can't slow down. 
      A#5                C5                        D5 
      You can never stay when you're living like a runaway. 



Guitar solo 

D 
I left each town with a wink and a kiss. 
G 
That maybe I'll be back real soon. 
C                      G        
A lot of memories from fans like you.  
D 
People that made my dreams come true. 
Em                G 
And I can still hear them saying: 




      D5            C5 
      Run baby run, cross New York City 
      D5                   A#5         C5 
      Run baby run, to the streets of L.A. 
      D5                     C5 
      Run baby run, yeah you can't slow down. 
      A#5                C5                        D5 
      You can never stay when you're living like a runaway.
