Dm
There was a fox
                               Am
And it was her destiny to not be caught
                               Dm
So she thought she could get away with anything
        F         C             Dm   Gm
Causing pain, and so many slain, oh  oh

            Dm
There was a hound
                                  Am
And it was his destiny to track the ground
                                    Dm
And make all found; how the people begged for him to chase
          F          C                     Dm   Gm
Track her trace, and put her in her place!  Oh  oh

Dm                             F
Catch me if you can, I bet you can’t
                       Am    C
‘Cause nothing can catch me, oh, oh
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                    Am     C         Bb
‘Cause nothing outruns me, oh, oh
(Bb)         Gm                   F       C
The Mountain spoke, and there can only be one, so
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                       Dm
‘Cause nothing can catch me

                     Dm
The hound chased the fox
                                         Am
And so began their endless race, the Paradox
                                    Dm
They both thought they could get away from their own fate
      F                C              Dm     Gm    Dm
Legend states it would always be this way  oh


       (Dm)
He got close, and she’d lose hope
    C        F
But he would fail to catch her tail
          Dm
They both won, they both lost
       F               C
In the game of the paradox, oh


Dm                             F
Catch me if you can, I bet you can’t
                       Am    C
‘Cause nothing can catch me, oh, oh
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                    Am     C         Bb
‘Cause nothing outruns me, oh, oh
(Bb)         Gm                   F       C
The Mountain spoke, and there can only be one, so
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                       Dm
‘Cause nothing can catch me

(Dm)                     F
The Mountain has spoken
(F)         C           Dm
You will be frozen into stone
(Dm)                     F
The Mountain has spoken
(F)         C                            (C)
You will be cast away as a constellation, oh


Dm                             F
Catch me if you can, I bet you can’t
                       Am    C
‘Cause nothing can catch me, oh, oh
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                    Am     C         Bb
‘Cause nothing outruns me, oh, oh
(Bb)         Gm                   F       C
The Mountain spoke, and there can only be one, so
Dm                             F
Run fast as you can, I bet you can’t
                       Dm
‘Cause nothing can catch me
