A
I'm rolling and riding away
Because I'm a reeling and feeling okay
    G    D     A
Forget about tomorrow
D/F#   G     E
Go for it today

Chorus:
           A             D/F# G A
'Cause I'm on, on the run
         A         D/F# G
Yes, I'm on the run

I'm a rocking and selling my soul
Because I'm living for rock and for roll
Forget about tomorrow
Go for it today

Chorus:
'Cause I'm on, on the run
Yes, I'm on, yes, I'm on the run

I'm shaking all day and all night
Yeah I'm doing what I know is right
Forget about tomorrow
Go for it today

Chorus:
'Cause I'm on, on the run
Yes, I'm on, yes, I'm on the run

'Cause I'm on the run
Yes, I'm on the run
On the run
