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
