Billy Joel - Running On Ice: chords

Gsus2            A#maj7/G        Am7/G
There's a lot of tension in this town
            Fsus2/G      Gsus2
I know it's building up inside of
 A#maj7/G  Am7/G Gsus4
me
Gsus2             A#maj7/G         Am7/G
I've got all the symptoms and the side effects
   Fsus2/G     Gsus2 A#maj7/G  Am7/G Gsus4
Of city life anxiety
Gsus2           A#maj7/G         Am7/G    Fsus2/G
I could never understand why the urban attitude
        Gsus2 A#maj7/G Am7/G Gsus4
Is so superior
Gsus2         A#maj7/G       Am7/G
In a world of high rise ambition
              Fsus2/G       Gsus2 A#maj7/G  Am7/G
Most people's motives are ulterior

Chorus:
G7/B
Oh!
C                               F          C
Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on ice
F            C        G6  G
Paying the price too long
Am7                              A#         C
Kind of get the feeling that I'm running on ice
A#            C            Dsus
Where did my life go wrong?

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate
Of culture and intelligence
The culmination of technology
And civilized experience
But I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk
A modern man accumulates
I'm a statistic in a system
That a civil servant dominates, oh

Chorus:
And all that means is that I'm running on ice
Caught in a vise so strong
I'm slipping and sliding, 'cause I'm running on ice
Where did my life go wrong?

              Gm   D#maj7/G  D/G
You've got to run,   run,    run
Gm7 Gm7/F D#
Oh!
Cm7 F A#
Oh!
Gm   D#maj7/G  D/G
Run,  Run,     Run
Gm7 Gm7/F D#
Oh!
Cm7 F D
Oh!

As fast as I can climb
A new disaster every time I turn around
As soon as I get one fire put out
There's another building burning down
They say this highway's going my way
But I don't know where it's taking me
It's a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race
It's breaking me, oh

I get no traction 'cause I'm running on ice
It's taking me twice as long
I get a bad reaction 'cause I'm running on ice
Where did my life go wrong?

You've got to run, run, run, run, oh, oh-oh-oh
Run, run, run, run, run, run, oh, oh-oh-oh

Running on ice
Running on ice
Running, running on ice
Running on ice, running on ice
Slippin' and slidin', running on ice
Running on ice, slippin' and slidin'
Running on ice
