Am  
You're with me tonight on this dark highway...  C(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x) (repeat C
(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x) pattern after every lyric line)
We've run it together So many times
We've run it for money, We've run it for music
We've run it to pay for our innocent crimes
I took on my father and I'm still walkin
Took on all comers in some shape or form
And I see with the eyes of something wounded
Something still standing after the storm

Am            C         F 
Here's one to glory and survival..... Am(4x)- C(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x) (twice)

Am            C              F             D   
And staying alive, It's the running man's bible..... C(4x)-D  (three times)

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tom_petty/running_mans_bible_crd.html ]
Am
I been next in line, I been next to nothing.... C(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x)
Been next to bystanders Who shoulda said something
It was not in my vision, It was not in my mind
To return from a mission, A man left behind


Am            C         F 
Here's one to glory and survival..... Am(4x)- C(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x) (twice)

Am            C              F             D   
And staying alive, It's the running man's bible..... C(4x)-D  (three times)


Am
I don't speak of the times I’ve nearly died.... C(2x) - D(1x) - C(1x)
I don't speak of out lasting those who are gone
Or the things I've done I care not to remember
Or the desperate measures that might have been wrong
Honey here's one to glory, here's to bad weather
And all the hard things we’ve been through together
Here's to the golden rule and survival
And to staying alive, it's the running man's bible


Am            C         F 
Here's one to glory and survival.

Am            C              F             D   
And staying alive, It's the running man's bible..... C(4x)-D  (three times)
