   [Intro]
G
   [Verse 1]
GmTake heart: cheat the dark
GmGet driving with the lark
FAs cities sleep
CmSteal a march beGmfore the sun
GmIt's all philosophy
GmOn an open motorway
FChasing break of day
CmSomewhere on a Gmborder town
   [Verse 2]
GmI've packed my ceilidh boots
GmI've got my "once was" looks
FI've got my tubes and hooks
CmReel, drogue, priest and Gmbung
GmThrow away your fears
GmPeel away the years
Csus2I've seen too many leaves
CFalling down
   [Pre Chorus]
Eb'Cause we'll get old
FBefore this Gmnight is Cmdone
FSo get far away
   [Chorus]
EbOr come with FmeDm  
BbEveryFthing you Ebsee
GmIs everyBbthing you Fneed
Take a Gmroad trip
  F  GmGo soul deepF  Gm  
   [Verse 3]
GmUnwind: touch the brine
GmTake some bread: break some wine
FI can see the water line
CmRed below the Lewis Gmsun
GmWhere the ocean rolls
GmAboard the ship of souls
FThe healing wind blows
CmSo why crawl when we can Gmrun
   [Verse 4]
GmGo find your other life
GmOne road: steeper climbs
FWhere the river winds
CmStraight into the Gmwest
GmFade away like rust
GmVanish like the dust
Csus2'Cause, baby, tramps like us were born
Cwith cianalas
   [Chorus]
EbOr come with FmeDm
