   C       Am        Dm       Am
1. a million miles our vegabond heels
   F                C
   clocked up beneath the clouds
   Dm       Am       G
   they're counting down to showtime
   C          Am             F
   when we'll do it for real with the crowds
   Dm            G               Am             F
   Air miles are owning but they don't come for free
   C              Am      F
   And they don't give you any for pain
   F           C       G
   but if it's all for nothing
   C           Am        F            C
   all the roadrunning, has been in vain
   C  Am  C  F  C
   
2. The rimshots come down like cannon fire
   and thunders off the wall
   there's a man in every corner
   and each one's giving his all
   this is my piper, this is my drum
   so you'll never will hear me complain
   and if it's all for nothing
   all the roadrunning has been in vain
   
   F           G
   all the roadrunning
   F           C
   all the roadrunning
   
3. Well if you’re inclined to go up on the wall
   It can only be fast and high
   And those who don’t like the danger soon
   Find something different to try
   And when there is only a ring in your ears
   And an echo down memory lane
   Then if it’s all for nothing
   All the roadrunning has been in vain
   
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunning
   
4. The show’s packing up, i sit and I watch
   The carnival eaving town
   There’s no pretending that I’m not a fool
   For riding around and around
   Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
   You showed me one time on the plane
   But if it’s all for nothing
   All the roadrunning, has been in vain
   C  Am  C  F  C
   
5. I've a million miles of vagabond sky
   Clocked up above the clouds
   And i’m still your man for the roaming
   For as long as there's roaming allowed
   There’ll be a rider and there’ll be a wall
   As long as the dream remains
   And if it’s all for nothing
   All the road running, it’s been in vain
   
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunning
   All the roadrunnung
   C  Am  C  F  C
