Intro:

Am Em Fmaj7   Am Em Fmaj7


Verse 1:
Am                   Em
Trying to hide these crimson eyes
  Fmaj7
Behind some midnight shades
Am            Em
Do my best to lose myself
     Fmaj7
In a bar without a name
Am              G             D
I guess I’m the beast and the burden
Am            G                D
When I get to reaching for the bourbon
D

For certain


Chorus:
  Am7              Em7               Fmaj7
Tonight I’ll run a thousand miles an hour through this town
    Am7              Em7
And leave a trail of hurt
                 Fmaj7
‘Cause you ain’t here to slow me down
        Am7            Em7
Used to keep me on the rails
                   Fmaj7
But that’s shot to hell since you’ve been gone
     Dm7
If I had you I’d be alright
      Em7               Fmaj7             Am7 Em7 Fmaj7
But tonight I’m what it looks like when I don’t
       Am7 Em7 Fmaj7
When I don’t


Verse 2:
Am                Em
Knuckles white as ghost gripping this
Fmaj7
Shouldn’t have one more
   Am                 Em
If you showed up with me this drunk
      Fmaj7
You’d walk right out the door
Am               G               D
I guess it’s the problem and the fix
Am          G                 Fmaj7
Pushed you away and pulled me in, again…


Chorus:
  Am7              Em7               Fmaj7
Tonight I’ll run a thousand miles an hour through this town
    Am7              Em7
And leave a trail of hurt
                 Fmaj7
‘Cause you ain’t here to slow me down
        Am7            Em7
Used to keep me on the rails
                   Fmaj7
But that’s shot to hell since you’ve been gone
     Dm7
If I had you I’d be alright
      Em7               Fmaj7             G
But tonight I’m what it looks like when I don’t


Bridge:
Am          G
Have you to hold
            D/F#
Have you to keep me
         Fmaj7
Out that 6 feet in the ground
                         Dm7
That’s where I’m heading now…


Out-Chorus:
  Am7              Em7               Fmaj7
Tonight I’ll run a thousand miles an hour through this town
    Am7              Em7
And leave a trail of hurt
                 Fmaj7
‘Cause you ain’t here to slow me down
        Am7            Em7
Used to keep me on the rails
                   Fmaj7
But that’s shot to hell since you’ve been gone
     Dm7
If I had you I’d be alright
      Em7               Fmaj7             Am7 Em7 Fmaj7
But tonight I’m what it looks like when I don’t
       Am7 Em7 Fmaj7
When I don’t
Fmaj7
That’s what it looks like when I don’t
