*****
This is a pretty straight-forward song to play. 
The early verses are simply going between an E and an E7 chord. 
Listen to the track and you’ll hear it. 
Eventually, they add in a Bm and an A, but watching them perform it live, 
they use Bm barred at the 7th fret and the A barred at the 5th.

Intro: 
E  E7  E  E7  E  E7

So I took off running
I ran over the hills
My odyssey through concrete and steel
Gonna keep on going

I don't wanna stand still
I'm gonna see what tomorrow brings
I'm gonna make it to the midnight train
I'm gonna see what tomorrow brings
