C                                                    C7 
I've seen the travel folders where to go and what to do 

         F                                           C 
But I've never found a place that won't remind me of you 

                                                  C7 
So I keep right on moving from your memory I take flight 

       F             C         G7         C 
I find hurt in every town as I run for my life 


                                                 C7 
In crowds I find I'm alone never where I want to be 

        F                                         C 
When it seems I'll forget your memory sneaks upon me 

                                              C7 
So I find I have to hurry off lose myself and denied 

        F               C           G7         C 
Morning finds me out of breath as I run for my life 


  G7                        F                  C 
I run for my life through a hundred heartbreak towns 

  G7                        F       G7         C 
I run for my life still the hurtin' won't slow down 


                                                     C7 
If I could just lose myself when I know the race I'd win 

        F                                   C 
But the only way to lose myself is an awful sin 

                                               C7 
Your memory's like my shadow it's always by my side 

         F               C            G7         C 
I'm just going around in circles as I run for my life 


         F               C            G7         C 
I'm just going around in circles as I run for my life
