(Intro/chorus)
A    D    A   G
Run, run, run for the roses.
    A          G         D
The quicker it opens the sooner it closes.
A       G       D
Man, oh man, oh friend of mine,
A        G         D   A
All good things in all good time

(Verse 1)
E               A                      D  A  E  A
  Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon
E                    A                      D  A  E  A
  They^Òre both too heavy, but what can you do?
F#m              E                     D  A  E  A
  Reach for the stars, smack into the sky
E                   A                        D
  You don^Òt want to live but your chicken to die
F#m         E          D      hold D
Ooh, you're chicken to die
 
(Chorus)
 
(Verse 2)
E               A                        D  A  E  A
  Run for the money, caught short on the rent
E       A                       D  A  E  A
  Big ideas but the cash is all spent
F#m                E                 D  A  E  A
  The trouble with love is its other face
E                   A                          D
  You just want the cup but you don't want the race
F#m           E           D     hold D
   No, you don't want the race

(Verse 3)
E               A                       D  A  E  A
  Reach for the rose, get caught on the briar
E                   A                          D  A  E  A
  You're warming to love, next thing there's a fire
F#m                  E                     D  A  E  A
  If you've got the "do-re", I've got the "mi"
E            A                    D
  I've got a notion, we're all at sea
F#m     E            D       hold D
  Yes,  we're all at sea
 
(Chorus x2)... end
