[Verse 1]
E F
I made a daring escape
E F E F E F
In the guise of a nun
E F E
It took them most of the day
F E F E F
To realize I was gone
E F E F
I crossed the forest and fields of wheat
E F E F
A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat
E F E F E F
I stole a paper just to see
E
A picture of me
[Chorus 1]
E F E
I'm a desperate man
F E F E
I gotta keep on running
F E F E F
I gotta do what I can
E F E F
To get back to you
[Verse 2]
E F E
I made the overnight ferry
F E F E F
By the skin of my teeth
E F E
I fell asleep between the truckers
F E F E F
Sprawled across the seats
E F E F
I see your face everywhere I go
E F E F
In every café, watering hole
E F E F E F
What is the hold you've got on me
E
Baby?
[Chorus 2]
E F E
I'm a desperate man
F E F E
I gotta keep on running
F E F E F
I gotta do what I can
E F E F
To get back to you
[Chorus 3]

I'm a desperate man
F E F E
I gotta keep on running
F E F E F
Running back to you
E F E F E E F
Nobody else will do
