[Intro]
C  C  G  C  Am  F  C  C
 
[Verse]
   C       C        G           C
A million miles our   vagabond heels
        Am  F                C     C
Clocked up     beneath the clouds
         G        G       C        F
They're counting down to show time
        C          C              F     F
When we do it for real with the crowds
G             G               C              F
Air miles are owing but they don't come for free
          C              C       F     F
And they don't give you any for pain
C            C       G        C
But if it's all for nothing, all the 
     Am       F          C  C  G  C  Am  F  C  C
roadrunning's   been in vain
 
[Verse]
     C             C        G         C
The rimshots come down like   cannon fire
     Am     F          C      C
And thunder   off the wall
           G     G      C      F
There's a man in every corner
     C           C          F     F
And each one is giving his all
G          G      C          F
This is my piper, this is my drum
        C          C           F      F
So you never will hear me complain
C            C       G        C
And if it's all for nothing, all the 
     Am       F           C
roadrunning's    been in vain
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
 
[Verse]
      C             C       G             C
Well, if you're inclined to go up on the wall
        Am     F           C     C
It can only be   fast and high
     G         G              C     F
And those who don't like the danger
           C         C            F    F
Soon find something different to try
    G              G      C               F
And when there is only a ringin' in your ears
        C         C      F    F
And an echo down memory lane
C            C       G        C
Then if it's all for nothing, all the 
     Am       F          C
roadrunning's   been in vain
 
[Chorus]
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
 
[Verse]
      C            C     G          C
The show's packing up, I   sit and watch
     Am    F          C    C
the convoy   leaving town
 G              G       C         F
There's no pretending, I'm not a fool
     C       C          F     F
For riding around and around
          G              G         C            F
Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
      C            C          F      F
You showed me one time on a plane
C            C       G        C
But if it's all for nothing, all the 
     Am       F          C  C  G  C  Am  F  C  C
roadrunning's   been in vain
 
[Verse]
   C       C       G           C
A million miles of   vagabond sky
        Am  F             C      C
Clocked up    above the clouds
G               G           C      F
I'm still your man for the roaming
        C               C        F      F
For as long as there's roamin' allowed
 G             G         C             F
There'll be a rider and there'll be a wall
    C           C         F     F
As long as the dreamer remains
C            C       G        C
And if it's all for nothing, all the 
     Am       F           C
roadrunning's    been in vain
 
[Chorus] (x2)
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
F            G        G  G   F            C    C  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
F            G        G  G   F            C   C  G  C  Am  F  C
All the roadrunning          All the roadrunning
