INTRO
[Am]
Verse 1
He had [F]such a [G]short atte[Am]ntion span
He was [F]born with [G]restless in his [Am]soul
She was [F]well [G]aware from the [Am]moment it began
[F]This rolling [G]stone would have to [Am]roll
CHORUS:
Who can [F]blame him, if he's true to his hearts [G]desire
Who can [Am]blame him, if he c[F]an't put out the [G]fire?
Who can [Am]blame him, if his [F]feet were meant to [G]run
If he l[F]ikes the morning [G]sun upon his [Am]back
Well you [F]might as well blame the freight train
For l[G]oving the railroad [Am]track
Verse 2
She could [F]see the [G]sparkle di[Am]sappear
As [F]things became [G]familiar to his [Am]eyes
She could [F]sense that [G]time was [Am]drawing near
When you [F]want it to stop
Its [G]funny how time [Am]flies
CHORUS:
Who can [F]blame him if he's true to his hearts d[G]esire
Who can [Am]blame him if he ca[F]n't put out the f[G]ire
Who can [Am]blame him if his f[F]eet were meant to r[G]un
If he l[F]ikes the morning [G]sun upon his [Am]back
Well you [F]might as well blame the freight train
For l[G]oving the railroad [Am]track
SOLO
[Am]
Verse 3
Now he'll [F]keep her [G]memory [Am]near his heart
But he'll [F]keep [G]his conscience [Am]clean
Cause he [F]told no [G]lies and she [Am]knew right from the start
He could [F]never be tied to a [G]Nine to Five [Am]routine
Now we [F]all [G]have our [Am]addictions
And [F]won-d[G]er lust is [Am]one
Some [F]cherish [G]their [Am]restrictions
They [F]stop and stare but [G]he likes moving[Am] on
CHORUS:
Who can [F]blame him, if he's true to his hearts [G]desire?
Who can [Am]blame him, if he c[F]an't put out the [G]fire?
Who can [Am]blame him, if his [F]feet were meant to [G]run?
If he l[F]ikes the morning [G]sun upon his [Am]back
Well you [F]might as well blame the freight train
For l[G]oving the railroad [Am]track
Well you[F] might as well blame the freight train
For l[G]oving the railroad [Am]track
