Written by Tim Armstrong and Joey 
Schaaf

attention, you noticed it was 
written by Tim Armstrong, of Rancid 
and
formerly of Operation Ivy, when he 
was called Lint. Anyway, it's not 
too
tough, here it is:


Intro riff: (* is when 2nd guitar comes in)

E--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G--------------------------------
D------4--------4-4-5-5-4-4------
A--5-5---5--5-5------------------
E----------------------------3-3-

E|-----------------------| 
B|-----------------------| 
G|-----------------------| 
D|-----*3-3-2-2-----2----| 
A|2-------------3-3---3--| 
E|--3--------------------| 

Play this riff 2x, then go into

Play the same D-G progression for 
the chorus, and lead guitar plays 
the
intro riff during each chorus.

Lyrics:
I keep on running but I'm starting 
to tire. I keep on moving cause my
mind's on fire. It's an uphill climb
 but my feet are getting heavy. I
keep on running cause I'm feeling 
ready
Keep on Running. . . .
I'm getting tired but I try to 
ignore it cause if I don't I'll be 
heading
for it. I know if I stop I'll be a 
dead man, the way it is for me, must
be in the plan.
Keep on Running. . . .
I keep on running cause I can't turn
 back. I've got no choice my body's
keeping track of the miles I've gone
 and the miles left to go. If I stop
now everyone will surely know.
Keep on Running. . . .
