[Verse 1]
         Em
Pace yourself

                         C                        G
You've got a long way to go before you get to lie down

       C                      G
You're stuffing coins in your mouth

C           G             B
Hoping happiness will fall out

Em          G
 I've been blind to the shortcuts

C                    G             C
Stuck on the tracks, losing my way home

                     G
Keep looking for the end of the tunnel

C                       B7
Never seems to get any closer
[Pre-Chorus]
C
 Who's gonna keep the lights on?

Cm
 Who's gonna make it rain?

Em
 Calling out to an echo and

      A*                     A
Just hoping for a different refrain
N.C. [Chorus]
       Am              Em
Like a mad dog after a rabbit

       G                    C
I keep run-running, running, running

   Am                Em               B
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere,  anywhere

           Am              Em
You know the kickback is automatic

         G                  C
It keeps com-coming, coming, coming

 Am                     B                     Em
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there

          Em
Brace yourself

                        C                           G
You're gonna drag that rock around the rest of your life

       C                            G
You're dancing on the edge of a knife

 C                    G  B
Hoping someone else will decide

Em         G
 I've been takin' on water

C                 G              C
 We both know the ship is gonna sink

            G
But I keep reaching for the shore

C                       B7
Never seems to get any closer
[Pre-Chorus]
C
 Who's gonna keep the lights on?

Cm
 Who's gonna make it rain?

Em
 Always looking for the next big ticket

G
 Always tryna stretch it one more day

Cmaj7
 Who's gonna keep you happy?

Cm
 Who's gonna keep you sane?

Em
 Calling out to an echo and

      A7*                   A7
Just hoping for a different refrain

I don't feel like it gets me anywhere,  anywhere

           Am              Em
