[Bb]
[Fm]
[F]
[G] Be it [Cm] sight, sound, touch, there's something
[Db] inside [Dm] that we [Ab] need so much.
[E] The sight [Fm] of a touch, or the scent [Gb] of a sound, or [G] the strength of an oak we've used [Ab] deep
in the ground.
[A] The [Bb] wonder of flowers to [B] be covered and [C] then to burst up [Db] through tarmac to the [D] sun again,
[Eb] [Em] or to fly to [Gb] the sun without [G] burning a wing, [Abm] to lie in a [Am] meadow and hear the grass sing,
to have [G] all these things in our memories home and then use them to [N] count us to three.
[Bb] [C]
I see salt, take [Bb] its place on this strip just [C] for me.
I take a free ride on [Bb] my seat, it's for [C] free.
I work [F] like a [G] slave for years, [C] sweat [E] so hard [F] just to [Gm] end my fears, not [Bb] to end my [Dm]
life but
for [G] now [Bb] I know I should [C] have run.
Run from my last race, take my [Bb]
place at this number.
[C]
Run, run like a fox, don't you [Bb] run in the lanes one more [C] time.
[F] [C] [Bb] Left school [F] with a [C] first class pass, [Bb] started work [F] for a [G] second class, [Bb] school's off [D] when
one [G] is through, [Bb] but by now that I've learned to [Dm] say, do.

[Bb] My world [F] is spinning [C] around, [Bb]
everything is [F] lost [C] and I found people [Bb] run, go [Gm] ride with
me, [Bb]
let's find another place [C] that's free.
Run, salt, take its [Bb] place on this strip just [C] for me.
Run, take a free ride, take my [Bb] place, have my seat, it's for [C] free.
[Bb] Run, [F] [G] I see [Bb] salt, [Dm] [C]
run.
