Run Off The Road

• C

C        F                  C    G 
When you finally scaled the wall 

C          F               Am    G 
Thinking you had heard the siren singing 

C        F           C        Am 
What you really heard was a broken bird 

C          G            Am 
Making out like it's a dove 



C          F                 C   G 
When you stole the soldier's car 

C     F             Am       G 
Everybody knew what you were thinking 

C       F    C           Am 
Ivory towers and lover's flowers 

C           G                 Am 
But no one thought you were a fool 



Em           Am              F 
You never stopped to notice all 

Em           Am                   F 
The stolen clothes stacked in the hall 

Em         Am      G               C 
From the others who scaled the wall just to 

G          Am                  C 
Find themselves fun off the road 


C F C Am C Em Am F 


And again: 

(C          F            C    G)  
When you showed up at the farm 
Visions of the summer flying past you 
The foxes had torn up 
The mother and her pups 
And the well was full of flies 
When you walked down to the pond 
Searching for the lover guiding you 
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then 
You finally knew that you were lost 

No one thought you were a fool 
Even though everyone knew 
What you wrote was the same 
Just a different name 
Of those who escaped before you.
