[Verse 1]
[Am]To the east to the e[C]ast
The [G]road beneath my [Am]feet
To the west to the [C]west
[G]I haven't got there y[Am]et
And [Em]to t[Am]he no[C]rth to the no[G]rth
[Am]Never [F]to be [C]caught
To the [F]south to the [Em]south
[C]My [Em]time [G]is running out[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Ever since my [Em]childhood I've
been [F]scared I've been [G]afraid
Of [C]being trapped by [G]circumstance
and [F]staying in one [D]place
So I [Am]al ways keep a sm[Em]all bag full
of [F]clothes carefully [G]stored
Somewhere [C]secret somewhere [G]safe
And somewhere [F]close [Em]to the door
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Well I've traveled many [Em]countries
I've washed my [F]feet in many [G]seas
I've drunk with [C]drifters in Vien[G]na
and with [F]punks in old [D]dc
And I've [Am]driven [Em]across deserts
driven [F]by the [G]irony
That only [C]being [G]shackled to the the
road could [F]ever [Em]I be fre[Am]e

[Verse 4]
To the [Am]east to the [C]east
[G]The road beneath my [Am]feet
To the west to [C]the west
I [G]haven't got there [Am]yet
And to [C]the north to [G]the north
[F]Never to be [C]caught
To the [F]south to [C]the south
My [G]time is running [Am]out

[Verse 5]
[Am]
I've felt old before my [Em]time
but now I [F]keep the age [G]away
By [C]burning up the [G]miles and yeah
by [F]filling up my [D]days
And the [Am]nights a thousand
[Em]nights I've played
And [F]a thousand more to [G]go
Before I [C]take a breath an[G]d steal myself
For [F]the next [Em]one thousand [Am]shows

[Verse 6]
To the [Am]east to the [C]east
[G]The road beneath my [Am]feet
To the west to [C]the west
I [G]haven't got there [Am]yet
And to [C]the north to [G]the north
[F]Never to be [C]caught
To [F]the south to [C]the south
My [G]time is running [Am]out

[D]Yes so

[Verse 7]
[Am]saddle up [Em]your horses now
and [F]keep your powder [G]dry
Cause [C]the truth is you
won't be [G]here long
Yeah [F]soon your going [D]to die

[Verse 8]
To [Am]the heart, to [Em]the heart there's
no [F]time for you [G]to waste
You wont find your [C]precious [G]answers
now by [F]staying in one [D]place
Yeah by [F]giving up [D]the chase[G]

[Verse 9]
To the [Am]east to the [C]east

[F]Never to be [C]caught
To [F]the south to [C]the south
[G]My time is running [Am]out
To [F]the south to [C]the south
My [G]time is running [Am]out
To [F]the south to [C]the south
My [G]time is [E]running [Am]out
