Verse 1:
D      C    G     D
She's got me runnin', tryin' to find her,
    C     G    D
Like a diesel on tracks behind her,
     C        G     D
Though I know from me she wants to escape,
    C   G        D
Fool I am, I won't accept my fate,
    C      G   D
So I'm runnin', and I'm so tired,
      C        G     D
Can't stop now cause she's got such a headstart,
  C       G      D
Any day I know I'm steppin' to find,
    C      G    D
Another man holdin' what was mine,
D

Still runnin'.


Hook 1:
     C     G   D
They say love, can be so blind,
      C        G      D
And it can almost drive you out of your mind,
    C   G    D
Look at me, an educated fool,
      C          G    D
Loving this woman that's made me bloat my cool.


Hook 2:
    C    G     D
So I'm runnin', tryin' to find her,
    C     G    D
Like a diesel on tracks behind her,
  C       G      D
Any day I know I'm steppin' to find,
    C      G       D
Another man holding what once was mine.


Interlude:
D
Still runnin',
D
Tryin' to get somewhere,
B
C   G    D
 Still runnin' momma,
C   G    D
 Still runnin' baby,
C   G          D
 Still tryin' to get it together, somehow I know,
C   G         D
Let me tell you one more time.


Hook 1:
     C     G   D
They say love, can be so blind,

And it can almost drive you out of your mind,
    C     G   D
Look at me, an educated fool,
      C          G    D
Loving this woman that's made me bloat my cool.


Outro:
    C             G         D
So I'm runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', baby,
            C             G         D
Don’t you know that I’m runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
C  G D
Runnin’, ..
         C       G    D
Runnin’, I’m too pleased to be running baby,
                 C      G D
Don’t you know I’m running out of breath, honey,
D
Can’t take it much longer, honey.
