Lyrics

Been run nin’ (D)so long, I’ve near ly (G)lost all track of time.

In ev ’ry di (D)rec tion I could n’t (G)see the warn ing signs.

I must be (C)los in’ it,

’cause my (G)mind plays tricks on me.

It looked so (D)eas y, but you know (A)looks some times de ceive.

Been run nin’ (D)so fast when what right I (G)from the start ing line.

No more con (D)nec tions, I don’t need (G)an y more ad vice.

One hand’s just (C)reach ing out

and (G)one’s just hang in’ on.

It seems my (D)weak ness es that I’d for (A)just keep go ing strong.

Head o ver heels, where should I go?

Can’t stop my self, out of con trol.

Head o ver heels, no time to think.

Looks like the whole world’s out of (D)sync.

Been run nin’ (D)so hard when what right I (G)need is to un wind.

The voice of (D)rea son is one I (G)left so far be hind.

I’ve wait ed (C)so ing long,

so (G)long to play this part.

And just re (D)mem ness bered that I’d for (A)got ten ’bout my heart.

Head o ver heels, where should I go?

Can’t stop my self, out of con trol.

Head o ver heels, no time to think.

Looks like the whole world’s out of (D)sync.

Been run nin’ (D)sync.

Head o ver heels, where should I go?

Can’t stop my self, out of con trol.

Head o ver heels, no time to think.

Looks like the whole world’s out of (D)sync.

Head o ver heels, where should I go?

Can’t stop my self, out of con trol.

Head o ver heels, no time to think.

Looks like the whole world’s out of world’s out of (D)sync.

(D)sync.
