C C/B Am7 F C C/B

Spoken like a young man trying to get himself on the wheel
My feet are forwards but I think I'm going backwards I'm still
So far away from you

Cause I don't need another reason not to survive on my own
I'm moving on from here

[Verse again]

Spoken like a true man trying to make his way through the fields
My back is heavy and my heart is feeling empty but still
I'm so far away from you
There's no use complaining to myself
I made these shoes to walk in
And they'll walk until the end

[Pre-Chorus]
And then I realise that I will dream of you tonight
Shadows fold out like blankets on the ground

[Chorus]
Run run rabbit run
Just don't get caught out by the farmer and his gun
Well hide hide rabbit hide
It's best to lose yourself before you ever lose your pride

Run run rabbit run
Just don't get caught out by the farmer and his gun
Well hide hide rabbit hide
It's best to lose yourself before you ever lose your pride
Just never lose your pride
Just never lose your pride
Oh, never lose your pride
