[G][C#dim][C][E][G]
[C][C#dim][G]
[E][Am][C][Dsus4][D][F#dim]
[G][E][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Listen to me [C]lady so it's understood
[G]This runnin' round lif[E]e
ain't [Dm]doin' me no [G]good[C]
I [C#dim]get tired, get so [D]tired
[G]of payin' due[E]s
[Abdim]But its seems the[Am]re ain't[C]
no way around [Dsus4]it[D]
No end to runnin' [Gm]blue
[G]But

[Verse 2]
[A]I l[C]ike t[G]o have my fun,[Gm]
[C]like to run aro[G]und
And I ain't no stranger [Dm]in nobody's [G]town
[C]But I get tir[C#dim]ed, get so tired[D]
[Dsus4]of chan g[Dm]in' v[Eb]iews[Bb]
And the [C]road don't get no [D]shorter
[C]Runnin' [F#]round and runnin'
blue
[G][C][Edim]

[Verse 3]
[Eb][D]
[G]But this runnin' round [C#dim]life might
[C]seem nice and easy
[Abdim]But when your[G] blowin'
with the [C#dim]wind[Dm]
[G]Sometime [Dm]it get [G]real [C]breezy
A man gets tired,
[C#dim]I feel li[D]ke I was b[G]orn to lose[Edim][E]
[Edim]And there ai[C]n't no way around it
[D]No way[C] rou[F#]nd run[F#dim]nin' blue[Gm][G][Em]

[E][C][D][F#dim][G]
[Edim][A][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
Got [G]no holes in my pocket,
[C#dim]no holes in [C]my soles
[G]But I don't know if I'm
leaving Detroit
Or a-comin' in in to Baton Rouge
[C]I get so tired,
so [Gm]tired of changin' [C]views[C#dim][D][Em]
[E]And there ain[C]'t no way around it
[D]No way[C] aro[F]und run[D]nin'
blue
[G][Em][Edim]

[Verse 5]
[Eb][D]
Left [G]my billfold at the air[C#dim]port,
my [C]suitcase on a train
Now [G]I can't find my unbrella, and
it sure looks like rain
[C]I get tir[Gm]ed, so [C]tir[C#dim]ed[G][Dsus4]
of playin' to [Gm]lose[G][Em][C]
And the road don't [Am]get no [C]shorter
[D]When you've got[F] the run[F#]nin'
blue
[C][Em][Edim]

[Verse 6]
[A][D]
Now [G]my life ain't no [D]good [C#dim]life,
[C]but it's my life too
[G]And once you're bound
to this highway
Hey, ain't nothing you [C]can do
Say [C#dim]I'm tired, whoa,
gettin' [D]tired of payin' [Edim]dues
[Bb]And there ain'[C]t no way around it
[D]No way round the runnin' blue
