Eb                     Bb
  Last night I had the strangest dream
Dm                       C
  I sailed away to China   in a little rowboat to find ya

Eb                                 Bb
  And you said you had to get your laundry clean
Dm                                C
  Didn’t want no one to hold you, what does that mean?

And you said...

F                     Bb       C
  Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride
Am             Dm   C  Bb
  Nobody gonna slow me down, oh, no
                    Dm    C
I’ve got to keep on mov - ing

F                     Bb       C
  Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride
Am                 Dm    C     Bb
  I'm runnin and I won’t touch ground, oh, no
                    Dm    C
I’ve got to keep on mov - ing


VERSE:
You’re on the road and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky, but now you’re feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is this the reason why you’re runnin’ so fast?

And she said...


[repeat CHORUS]
