Intro: C Am C F C
Verse 1:
C Am Dm Am
a million miles our vegabond heels
F C
clocked up beneath the clouds
Dm Am G
they're counting down to showtime
C Am F
when we'll do it for real with the crowds
Dm G Am F
Air miles are owning but they don't come for free
C Am F
And they don't give you any for pain
F C G
but if it's all for nothing
C Am F C
all the roadrunning, has been in vain
Fill: C Am C F C
Verse 2:
C Am Dm Am
the rimshots come down like cannon fire
F C
and thunders off the wall
Dm Am G
there's a man in every corner
C Am F
and each one's giving his all
Dm G Am F
this is my piper, this is my drum
C Am F
so you'll never will hear me complain
F C G
and if it's all for nothing
C Am F C
all the roadrunning has been in vain
F G
all the roadrunning
F C
all the roadrunning
Verse 3:
Well if you�re inclined to go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don�t like the danger soon
Find something different to try
And when there is only a ring in your ears
And an echo down memory lane
Then if it�s all for nothing
All the roadrunning has been in vain
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
Verse 4:
The show�s packing up, i sit and I watch
The carnival eaving town
There�s no pretending that I�m not a fool
For riding around and around
Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane
But if it�s all for nothing
All the roadrunning, has been in vain
Fill: C Am C F C
Verse 6:
I've a million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
And i�m still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roaming allowed
There�ll be a rider and there�ll be a wall
As long as the dream remains
And if it�s all for nothing
All the road running, it�s been in vain
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunnung
