       C#                G#
Being wiry and thinking loudly
           F#     D#m              C#
About the things sent to make you move
           C#                         G#
You can't help it, there's no one in this world
           F#     D#m            C#
Knows you just, just the way you do

Chorus:
 G#/C        A#m     G#        F#
So we keep darting through the holes
        C#             G#
As the hunter and the fox
         F#         D#m    C#
Run the gauntlet's savage road
 G#/C       A#m      G#         F#
So we keep darting through the holes
        C#             G#
As the hunter and the fox
         F#         D#m   C#
Run the gauntlet's savage road

Winter's heavy and partly cloudy
And the snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few
Bit if you're wiley, you will leave them lying
Snared up in the traps that they set for you

Chorus:
And it's an evergreen affair
As temptation taunts the fox
Into the hunter's waiting lair
And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire
You'll never see me slow down, for a while
Because I am the fox, like it or not

         A#m                          D#7
And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire
        G#                      C#
You'll never see me slow down, for a while
      A#m       F#               C#
Cause I am the fox, like it or not
    A#m                           D#7
I'm always gonna be there running over the rock
G#                   C#          G#/C
Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross
    A#m        F#                  C#
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
G#           F#
Yes I am the fox

It may sound crazy but it's often lonely
And the restless heart should be captured once in a while
Then you can use them, and you often fool them
Into believing whatever you desire

Chorus:
So I'll keep moving through the night
The hunter and the hunted
On their designated flights

And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire
You'll never see me slow down, for a while
Because I am the fox, like it or not
I'm always going to be there running over the rock
Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
Yes I am the fox

Chorus:
So we keep darting through the holes
As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlet's savage road

So I'll keep moving through the night
The hunter and the hunted
On their designated flights
