Well I'm so sad tonight
        C                  F
And the words won't come out right
     C                    F
It's been a long day on the track
        C              F

So won't you run to me tonight

But I'll only ever be

Well my heart is beating hard
  C                            F
And the mouth with the shot at the start
  C                      F
And my legs tremble from strain
  C                        F
But by the finish line I am drained


C           Am     F     C
So won't you run to me tonight

Do not pretend that we're just lovers
