Runnin Toward The Light chords by Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties

Intro:
E F#m A E F#m A B


Verse 1:

E
I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands

A               B
He'd play me when I was young

E
'Cause they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead

A                 B
When all I wanted were honest songs

A
But now they're anthems in the van

                   C#m
And we're screaming them out on the highway

B
For good luck

A
In the bright blistering sun


Chorus:

E    F#m     A
Runnin' toward the light

B
On the shoulder of a dream

E     F#m    A
I'm singing in my sleep

E    F#m    A
Runnin' toward the light

B
I stagger through the streets

E    F#m   A
I sing it in my sleep

C#m B

Verse 2:

 E                                B
Cream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple dawn

 E
Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along

 A
Spray paint a '20' up on the over pass

 C#m             B       A
Like a blood pact for the drifters we've become

In the soft burgeoning sun


Chorus:

E    F#m     A
Runnin' toward the light

B
On the shoulder of a dream

E     F#m    A
I'm singing in my sleep

E    F#m    A
Runnin' toward the light

B
I stagger through the streets

E    F#m   A
I sing it in my sleep


Bridge:

 B      C#m
This is for Rosa, and Catherine

  B
And Mom and Dad

  A
And this is for Robert, and Jesse

  B
And the Thunderbird staff

  E
I'm going to make you proud of me

  B
I'm going to make you proud of me

  A
I'm going to make you proud of me


Chorus:

E    F#m     A
Runnin' toward the light

B
On the shoulder of a dream

E     F#m    A
I'm singing in my sleep

E    F#m    A
Runnin' toward the light

B
I stagger through the streets

E    F#m   A
I sing it in my sleep
