     D
When my heart is ready to burst
When the world spins in reverse
           G
I'll keep running
                        D
To the place where I belong

When you go to turn down the light
And no one's there to hold you in the night
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong

Chorus:
           A                  Bm
When you think you're on your own
G                 D
I'm still coming home!

When our picture fades in the Sun
And all the colors blur into one
I'll keep running
To the place where I belong

Chorus

          G          D
When your all gets blinded,
          A             D
When you fold with the cards
G                    D
No, I'll never stop fighting,
    A       Bm       A
To get to where you are!

            Bm               G               D         A
Wherever we go, Wherever we go, Wherever we go
            Bm               G               D         A
Wherever we go, Wherever we go, Wherever we go

When the lights are faded to black
And only stars are guiding me back
I'll keep running
To the place I belong

Chorus - x2
