D
One step forward and two steps back
Time to take cover we're under attack
Got you running inside my head
Running right through my head
We push and pull through thick and thin
Always together is the way that we win
Got you spinning inside my head
Running right through my head
           C G                 Dm7
Running in time, running with you

Dm7
It's never easy it's a heavy load
no turning back on the stormy road
         G                        Dm7
got you running right through my head
there's no way out when the bullets fly
we need no reason, no alibi
         G                Dm7
got you running inside my head
 G                       Dm7
running right through my head
            C G                Dm
running in time, running with you
            C G                 Dm
running in time, that's what we do

D                                     D# A# C D
Is this a dream falling out of the sky?
                             D# A# C G
Is this a case of do or die?
and here we go...

Dm7
da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da

           C  G                Dm7
running in time, running with you

da da da da da da da da da

da da da da da da da da da

da da da da da da da da
              C G                 Dm7
crossing the line, let's see it through
            C G               Dm7
rocking in time, rocking with you

Is this a dream falling out of the sky?
Is this a case of do or die?

Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Running in time, running with you
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Crossing the line, and let's see it through
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
