[E] [D]
[G]
[D]
Riding my life like a runaway train, moving from one track to the [C] [G] next.
[D] Howling, crying, screaming at the moon.
[C] Only my [G] voice came back,
[D] only the [G] echo came back.
[D]
When I was a boy, daddy told me grow tall, yes a milly don't fall.
[G] [D] Saw me out a ride, sent me out on my own, [C] and I never came [G] [D] back.
And [C] yes I'd do it [G] again, oh [D] wouldn't you?
I'd do it [G] again, uh [D] huh.
[C] Do it [G] again, baby, [Dm] wouldn't you?
[Gm]
[D]
[C] Remember when I [G] lied, [D]
just when [C] you needed [G] me.
[A]
[D] Now I sit [C] alone [G] and cry, cause now I'm a good man.
[D] Remember when I [G] lied, [A] [D] just when you needed [G] me.
You [C] knew [G] I'd be [D] good man too.
Riding, walking, looking so cool, guess I crossed over the [C] borderline.
[G] [D] Read it like a John Spook, just can't read, [C] did I [G] fool me too?
[D] And [C] yes I'd do it [G] again, oh [D] wouldn't you?
Yes I'd do it [G] again, uh huh.

[C] Remember when [G] I lied, [D]
just when [C] you needed [G] me.
[A]
[D] Now I sit [C] alone [G] and cry, but now I believe in [D] mercy.
Remember when [G] I lied, [D] now that you [G] needed me, [C] yes [G] I believe [D] in mercy.
[E] [B] [G] [D]
[F] [G]
[D] Take hold now baby, uh huh, [C] and [D] take what other lovers have gone.
[C] Times [D] is changing, will they [Am] rearrange the [D] other side to go love?

[F] he's [D] impatient, come on, come on, [G] come [D] on.
Come on, [Am] here he is, the [D] impatient one, come on, to claim the glory, [C] [D] radical son.
Come [C] on.
[D] Yar'gullah.
Come [A] on.
