Introduction:

                                   G                   D                       A                 G 
You've done it all, you've broken every code
                               D                       A 
And pulled the Rebel to the floor
                                       G             D                                 A             G 
You've spoilt the game, no matter what you say
                   D                         A 
For only metal, what a bore.
 G                     D 
Blue eyes, blue eyes,
 G                     D                       A 
How can you tell so many lies?
 Em                   G                             D             A 
Come up and see me, make me smile.
 Em                             G                         D           A 
I'll do what you want, running wild.
                                     G       D                               A 
There's nothing left, all gone and run away,
 G                           D                   A 
Maybe you'll tarry for a while?
                             G             D                         A 
It's just a test, a game for us to play,
 G               D                                 A 
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
 G                 D 
Resist, resist,
 G                     D                                   A 
It's from yourself you have to hide
 Em                         G                                 D                 A 
Come up and see me, to make me smile.
 Em                               G                             D               A 
I'll do what you want, running wild.
                                 G           D                               A 
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
 G                       D                         A 
From my belief in Mother Earth.
                           G             D                     A 
Can you ignore my faith in everything?
 G                               D                                             A 
Cos I know what faith is and what it's worth.
 G               D 
Away, away
 G                                 D                 A 
And don't say maybe you'll try
 Em                         G                                 D               A 
To come up and see me to make me smile.
 Em                               G                                   D           A 
I'll do what you want, just running wild.
 G     D 
ooh-ooh la-la-la
 G     D 
ooh-ooh la-la-la
 A 
Oooooooooaaaaaah
 Em                   G                             D           A 
Come up and see me, make me smile.
 Em                             G                         D           A 
I'll do what you want, running wild.
