VERSE:
 G
Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine
 Dm
Came up short and I tried again
      F                                     C
Then New York stole the heart right off my sleeve

 G
Fell asleep with a broken wheel
     Dm
And something kept me rolling still
 F                                              C
Both eyes closed waiting for the American dream


CHORUS:
           C               F               Dm
Yeah, I’m runnin’ just as fast as my heart can
 G                                 C
Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness

               C
But I keep on runnin’
          F                  Dm
Changing tires and changing plans
   G                          C
I call it my pursuit of happiness


INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE:
 G
Found a song in Carolina
 Dm
Left a tip at every diner
 F                              C
Always running late on Eastern time

       G
Put a hundred in the offering plate
     Dm
And wondered if those pearly gates
       F
Would open if I found the perfect rhyme


CHORUS:
           C               F               Dm
Yeah, I’m runnin’ just as fast as my heart can
 G                                 C
Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness

               C
But I keep on runnin’
          F                  Dm
Changing tires and changing plans
   G                          C
I call it my pursuit of happiness


BDA K:
        F                                C
It’s a stranger, it’s a dollar, it’s my name on a big marquee
        D7                           F                   F
It’s a million miles away, and it’s right in front of me

CHORUS:

Yeah, I keep on runnin’ just as fast as my heart can
 G                                 C
Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness

               C
But I keep on runnin’
          F                  Dm
Changing tires and changing plans
   G                          C
I call it my pursuit of happiness

            G                           C   C
Yeah, it’s all just my pursuit of happiness
