Chorus 1
G 
 (G major) I  was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
C 
Home was never home to me at  (C major) any time
D7 
Every  (D7) front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
G 
for the  (G major) runnin' kind

Verse 1

Within me there's a prison

surrounding me alone

As real as any dungeon with its walls of stone

I know running's not the answer

Yeah, but running's been my nature

And a part of me that keeps me movin' on

Chorus 2
G 
 (G major) I  was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
C 
Home was never home to me at  (C major) any time
D7 
Every  (D7) front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
G 
for the  (G major) runnin' kind
