[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
