[Verse 1]
E                F
I made a daring escape
E               F     E  F  E  F 
In the guise of a nun
E                 F      E   
It took them most of the day
           F     E    F   E  F
To realize I was gone
E                   F    E              F
I crossed the forest and fields of wheat
E                   F       E               F 
A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat
E       F E          F   E    F 
I stole a paper just to see
  E
A picture of me


[Chorus 1]
                E   F  E    
I'm a desperate man
        F       E       F  E
I gotta keep on running
        F         E    F  E  F  
I gotta do what I can
   E              F   E  F
To get back to you


[Verse 2]
E              F     E
I made the overnight ferry
              F   E     F E  F
By the skin of my teeth
E               F         E 
I fell asleep between the truckers
               F    E     F  E  F 
Sprawled across the seats
E               F    E         F
I see your face everywhere I go
E            F  E           F
In every café, watering hole
E         F  E              F  E   F  
What is the hold you've got on me 
E
Baby?


[Chorus 2]
                E   F  E    
I'm a desperate man
        F       E       F  E
I gotta keep on running
        F         E    F  E  F  
I gotta do what I can
   E              F   E  F
To get back to you


[Chorus 3]
                E   F  E    
I'm a desperate man
        F       E       F  E
I gotta keep on running
        F       E    F  E  F  
Running back to you
  E              F   E    F  E E  F
Nobody else will do


[Solo]
E E E F  8x


[Chorus 4]
                E   F  E    
I'm a desperate man
        F       E       F  E
I gotta keep on running
        F       E    F  E  F  
Running back to you
  E              F   E  F
Nobody else will do
F E E F
