Dm C/D Before the phone hits the receiver, you're half way to the door Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C The voice said get out while you can there's just 10 minutes nothing more Dm C/D Time for only the essentials, better gather them and run Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C False name inside the passport, the gold bars and the gun Gm7 Am7 And once again, they've come out of the past Bb C And though your mind is cool your heart is beating fast A/C# Dm Bdim You've been through it all before, each time you wish a little more A/C# That you could ask Dm C/D What do you want from me? Bbmaj7 What do you need from me? C There's no rest for the running man Am7 Bbmaj7 Why can't you let him be? Dm C/D Bbmaj7 C Am7 Bbmaj7 Dm C/D It's a long and twisting journey from the sweeping northern plains Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C To the outcrops of the jungle far beneath the tropic rains Dm C/D In the customs hall the officer takes you to one side Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C And his eyes reveal no feeling as you hand over the bribe Gm7 Am7 And once again, you've bought a little time Bb C And once again you're fading out of sight A/C# Dm Bdim Still the fox is growing older as he calls over his shoulder A/C# To the night chorus F Am Here, come over here Cm Bb Bbm Beneath a sympathetic moon we'll sit and talk over old times F Am Without a fear, another beer Cm Bb Bbm In the cafes of the night the tumblimg rythms of guitars Am Ring loud and clear. guitar solo Dm C/D One by one they've nailed the others, but you always got away Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C What it is that keeps you just that step ahead, no one can say Dm C/D In one last raid the agents of the dawn break down the door Bbmaj7/D Gm7 C Of a house where you were standing maybe just an hour before Gm7 Am7 And still the thread continues to unwind Bb C You take the hidden roads that only you can find A/C# And should they come upon your tracks Dm Bdim A/C# There's just a question hanging back you left behind. chorus and repeat intro part to end I'm not too sure about the Bdim chord, but playing x20101 sounds reasonable.
