๐ธ Verse 1:
A Amaj7
Well I've listened to excuses and I've watched 'em walk away
A7 D
It's only after holding me they say they cannot stay
A Amaj7
I've spent many an hour writin' letters never read
A7 D Dm
I've stared away the ceilings of a thousand lonesome beds
๐ธ Chorus:
A
Lovers on the run
Amaj7 D Dm A
Are you not the lonely ones when the road has lost its thrill?
A
Lovers on the run
Amaj7 D Dm A
When all is said and done, will your beds be empty still?
E A E
I know they will, I know they will
๐ธ Verse 2:
A Amaj7
Well I've hung my head in silence and I've turned my eyes away
A7 D
I've dug my claws in deeper when I knew I shouldn't stay
A Amaj7
I've looked into anotherโs eyes when all the world was still
A7 D Dm
And just as I began to fall, they went in for the kill

I know they will, I know they will

A Amaj7
You think if you're moving then the world is moving too
A7 D
But there's a million other eyes who shine the same as you
A Amaj7
And one day your collection of the things that might have been
A7 D Dm
Will fall behind the light into the lonely dark and dim
๐ธ Chorus:
A
Lovers on the run
Amaj7 D Dm A
Are you not the lonely ones when the road has lost its thrill?

I know they will, I know they will
E A
I know they will, I know they will
E A
I know they will, I know they will
