[Verse]

G                
Moonshine in the 
G/B        Am
shape of a lifeline
                 G
Hasn't it been a long time
      G/B             Am
Since you came up for air?
                    G
Are we dancing on a fine line?
         G/B         Am
Ain't it just like a smile line
                        
To leave you standing by 
  G
a roadside sign
          G/B          Am
With your thumb in the air
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

 Dm                   G
Oh, let the warm wind blow
            Dm        
And may you never know 
          G
where the good times go
 
 
[Chorus]
         C
Rolling away
      G/B       F
Baby, we need a holiday
     C                
On a westbound way to 
    G/B        Dm
our day in the sun
                            C
Just leave them cursing the morning
           G/B        F
They don't pay you to live this way
   C                 
No race down here has 
 G/B      Dm
ever been won
 
 
[Instrumental]

G G/B Am
G G/B Am
 
 
[Verse]

                     G
It won't help you to hold on tight
         G/B              
Read the books, you could 
Am
never get it right
                        G
You're just a moment of starlight
         G/B      Am
Spinning out on a stone
                         
We're getting off of the 
G
merry-go-round
      G/B     Am
Don't let the bastards get you down
                 G
We all come from lost and found
       G/B     Am
To the great unknown
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

 Dm                   G
Oh, let the warm wind blow
            Dm        
And may you never know 
          G
where the good times go
 
 
[Chorus]
         C
Rolling away
      G/B       F
Baby, we need a holiday
     C               
On a westbound way to 
    G/B        Dm
our day in the sun
                            C
Just leave them cursing the morning
           G/B        F
They don't pay you to live this way
   C             
No race down here has 
G/B       Dm
ever been won
   C           G/B       F
Oh baby, don't we need a holiday?
     C              
On a westbound way to 
    G/B       Dm
our day in the sun
                            C
Just leave them cursing the morning
           G/B        F
They don't pay you to live this way
   C                  
No race down here has 
G/B       Dm  C
ever been won
 
 
[Outro]

G            G/B         Am C
 Living your life on the run

  Living your life on the run
C G/B Dm
C         G/B    F       C G/B Dm C G
 Oh, they need a holiday
