Paul Weller – Why Walk When You Can Run (Guitar)

Am               C
My son runs to the shore 

G                   E+/to E 
To the world that lies before 

Am               C
But he can’t hear my sound 

G                     E+/to E
He’s much too in tune with the ground 

F                   G                       C                 Am
He sees only the tide and the surf and the sea 

F                   G                   Am           E
He’s oblivious to me calling 

Am                      C       G                  E+/to E
In years to come I will still call him son

Am            C                   
He’ll have no time to wait 

G                E+/to E
He must see beyond his fate 

F                      G                     C                        Am
He’ll say only the sun and the wind make him free 

F                      G                     Am       E
His only defence will always be

Am                         
Run like the wind run like the wind 

F                        
Run like the wind run like the wind 

G
Run like the wind run like the wind 

C                                                             E+/to E
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  

Am                        C
Through sheets of time

G                           E+/to E 
On the wings of a bird 

Am             C               
He’ll come to the edge

G                   E+/to E 
To look life in the eyes 

F                     G                      C                       Am
He’ll see only the keys to the world and is dreams 

F                   G              Am            E
His strongest defence will always be
