🏃 Verse :
 F                   C
Running back, number 49
Am7                  G
You had me from the sidelines
    F                 C
And in the back of a Pontiac
 Am                  G
Something bout that first time




      F                          C
That puts your walls up when it don’t work out
        Am7                    G
You’re still holding on to it years from now
F                   C            Am           G
I bet you probably put my memory in the ground


🏃 Chorus: 
          F             C
And I’ve had a few somebody new’s
 Am7              G
Thought about forever too
       F            C                 Am7 G
But I run away when it gets close to that

F              C
And ‘cause no matter how far down the road
     Am7           G
The crazy thing is I know
        F                      C              Am7
If you called and said you’re missin’ what we had
 G
I’d come running back

F  C  Am  G




🏃 Verse :
 F               C
Running back, to 18
       Am7                  G
Wonder if that’s how you remember me
F        C
So dumb, so free
Am7               G
Yeah sometimes I daydream

       F                     C
About running back into you hometown Kroger
 Am7                 G
Would it still feel likе it did?
       F                      C
Just 'cause we grew up don’t mеan we got closure
 Am7
Ever since
 G
Ever since


🏃 Chorus: 
      F             C
I’ve had a few somebody new’s
 Am7              G
Thought about forever too
       F            C                 Am7 G
But I run away when it gets close to that

            F              C
Because no matter how far down the road
     Am7           G
The crazy thing is I know
        F                      C              Am7
If you called and said you’re missin’ what we had
 G
I’d come running back




🏃 Verse :
F                  C
To the car, black ice on the rearview
 Am7                       G
Climb in your lap driving home like we used to
 F                  C            Am7
Honestly all you’d need to do is ask

     G                   F  C  Am
And I’d come running back
       G                F  C
Yeah
I’d come running baaack
      Am7  G
Oh oh oh oh


🏃 Chorus: 
          F             C
And I’ve had a few somebody new’s
 Am7              G
Thought about forever too
       F            C                 Am7 G
But I run away when it gets close to that

           F              C
Beause no matter how far down the road
     Am7           G
The crazy thing is I know
        F                      C              Am7
If you called and said you’re missin’ what we had
 G
I’d come running back

F  C  Am7

       G                F  C  Am7 Am G
Yeah
I’d come running back


🏃 Outro: 
 F                   C
Running back, number 49
Am7                  G   F
You had me from the sidelines
