VERSE
           Dm
Before the phone hits the receiver
       C/D
You're halfway to the door
                Bb/D
The voice said 'get out while you can,
                 Gm               C
There's just ten minutes, nothing more'
         Dm
Time for only the essentials
       C/D
Better gather them and run
          Bb/D
The false name inside the passport,
    Gm                C
The gold bars and the gun
BRIDGE
          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#
You've been through it all before
              Dm            Bdim                A/C#
Each time you wish a little more that you could ask
CHORUS
Dm                    C/D
What do you want from me?
C/D                   Bbmaj7
What do you need from me?
        Bbmaj7          C
There's no rest for the running man
    Am                Bbmaj7
Why can't you let him be?
INTERLUDE

VERSE
       Dm
It's a long and twisting journey
         C/D
From the sweeping northern plains
       Bb/D
To the outcrops of the jungle
        Gm               C
Bowed beneath the tropic rains
       Dm
In the customs hall the officer
C/D
Takes you to one side
        Bb/D
And his eyes reveal no feeling
       Gm            C
As you hand over the bribe
BRIDGE
          Gm7                         Am7
And once again you've bought a little time
          Bb                        C
And once again you're fading out of sight
          A/C#
Still the fox is growing older
      Dm             Bdim            A/C#
As he calls over his shoulder to the night:

[Refrão]
CHORUS
Dm                    C/D
What do you want from me?
C/D                   Bbmaj7
What do you need from me?
Bbmaj7          C
No rest for the running man
    Am                Bbmaj7
Why can't you let him be?

Here, come over here
          F/Eb
Beneath a sympathetic moon
              Bb/D          Bbm/Db          F
We'll sit and talk over old times without a fear
        Fmaj7          F/Eb
Another beer, from the cafes of the night
Bb/D   Bbm/Db

[ Am ]
The tumbling rhythms of guitars ring loud and clear

VERSE
       Dm
One by one they've nailed the others
        C/D
But you always got away
        Bb/D
What it is that keeps you just that step ahead
Gm          C
No one can say
   Dm
In one last raid the agents
       C/D
Of the dawn break down the door
     Bb/D
Of a house where you were standing
      Gm             C
Maybe just an hour before
BRIDGE
              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
