Runaway   Devlin

Runaway  Devlin






 


 Real easy song to play, 4 chords repeated throughout the whole song.


 C, G, Am, F (in that order).


 


 [Verse 1: Devlin] 


 A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise


 I woke and rolled over and told my girl we're leaving


 It's time to sacrifice a lot


 Cause you ain't happy with your job


 And round here it's like nothin' seems appealing


 So let me know you feel the same


 Throw your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening


 And then embark upon a path of rediscovery


 Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden


 I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,


 Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away


 And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe


 I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.


 And if I dissappear for years and reappear


 Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?


 Or would I have lost clarity?


 In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually


 


 [Cborus: Yasmin] 


 I gotta leave, I gotta go,


 There's nothing here for me no more


 I gotta be free, I gotta be


 Somewhere that I can just be me.


 And I run run runaway, run run runaway,


 Run run runaway, I runaway.


 


 [Verse 2: Devlin] 


 We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station


 Purchase two tickets to an alien destination


 Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races


 But not me and my girl we're breaking free


 Like an escapist, cause we need to escape this


 And I for one have got my mind made up,


 Even if where we stay is make-shift


 I can't remain in this domain of semi ape shit, because all I see is hatred


 I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me


 Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?


 I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery


 And vanish off the planet like a mystery.


 And if I did return would things be the same or worse?


 You see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels


 Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel


 


 [Cborus] 


 


 [Verse 3: Devlin] 


 As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay


 'Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid


 And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze


 But now I've come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across


 my face


 The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind


 prison gates


 If I could runaway and come back another day,


 I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.


 Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.


 If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place


 I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face


 I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day


 While I roll upon the roads along the motorway


 


 [Cborus]
