({E}  F#  D   E F# {D})  F# E D 
Tough of the track, with the wind  
And the rain that's beating down on your back  
Your heart's beating loud and goes on getting louder  
And goes on even more  
({E} F# D {E}) 
till the sound is ringing in your head  
With every step you tread, and every breath you take  
Determination  
({E}  F#  D   E F# {D})  F# E D 
makes you run, never stop  
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop  
Keep the pace, hold the race  
Your mind is getting clearer  
You're over halfway there but the miles  
({E}  F# D {E}) 
just never seem to end as if you're in a dream  
Not getting anywhere.  
It seems so futile. 
 
({E} C F# {C})+ Riff 2 + Riff 3 
Run, on and on Run, on and on  
The Loneliness of the long distance runner.

I've got to keep running the course

({E}  F#  D   E F# {D})  F# E D 
Run over stiles, across fields  
Turn to look at who's on your heels  
Way ahead of the field  
The line is getting nearer  
but do you want the glory that goes  
({E}  F# D {E}) 
You reach the final stretch  
Ideals are just a trace  
You feel like throwing the race 
It?s all so futile. 
 
({E} C F# {C})+ Riff 2 + Riff 3 
Run, on and on Run, on and on  
The Loneliness of the long distance runner.
