Verse 1
Em 
I keep on running
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
but I can't    get to the mountain
Em 
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
Behind me lie the years that I misspent
Dsus2 
Em 
And I've been sinking
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
like a flower   in the fountain
Dsus2 
Em 
Dsus2 
When all the love I'm gonna need
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
is heaven sent

Pre-chorus 1

Asus2

Gonna try my best to get there

Cmaj7

But I can't afford the bus fare

Dsus2

And the storm that's rolling over

Cmaj7

Man, it makes me wanna cry

Chorus 1
Em 
Dsus2 
And I was told
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
The streets were paved with gold
Em 
Dsus2 
And there'd be no time for getting old
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
when we were young
Em 
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
Em 
Dsus2 
We'll fight the dying of the light
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
and we'll catch the sun

Verse 2
Em 
Dsus2 
Woke up sleeping on a train
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
that was bound for nowhere
Em 
Dsus2 
Echoes that I could hear
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
were all my own
Em 
The world had turned
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
and I'd become a stranger
Dsus2 
Em 
And I'm tired of watching
Dsus2 
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
all the flowers  turn to stone

Pre-chorus 2
Asus2 
'Cause I tried my best to get there
Cmaj7 
But I can't afford the bus fare
Dsus2 
And the storm that's rolling over
Asus2 
Man, it makes me wanna cry
Cmaj7 
And the cold against my shoulder
Dsus2 
When it comes on in the winter
Asus2 
And it seems to last forever
Cmaj7 
And it makes me wanna,
Dsus2 
it makes me       wanna cry

Chorus 2
Em 
Dsus2 
(I) was told
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
The streets were paved with gold
Em 
Dsus2 
And there'd be no time for getting old
Cmaj7 
Dsus2 
when we were young
Em 
Dsus2 
Cmaj7

It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
Em 
Dsus2 
We'll fight the dying of the light
Cmaj7 
Dsus2

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming
