D                    G         D
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.

G                 D              A
Rain was falling, looked like it would for a while.

D              G                     D
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.

G               D                 A
The radio died after the first hundred miles.

G               D
I sang all the way to the border

G                 A
And guess who starred in every rhyme.

D              G                A
Ah you know and I know that love never runs on time.

D G D    G D A




D                G                 D
I followed that old river 'til the morning.

G               D               A
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.

D         G               D
But the colour of the coffee was a warning,

G            D                  A
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.

G              D
 The waitress poured me another,

 G                A
I guess she was feeling kind

D           G                A               D
You know and I know that love never runs on time.




Bm                 G
You're lost in the traffic.

A                        D
I?ve been asking around, but you haven't been seen.

Bm                       G
I never thought we were perfect.

A
Oh but darling - what we could have been!

D               G              D
The rain came and went all the next day.

G             D               A
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.

D               G                  D
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,

G                 D                     A
Hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive.

G                    D
I never heard a love song yet

G                  A
That I could call yours and mine

D                    G             A              D
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.


(instrumental)

G                       D
I never heard a love song yet

G                         A
That I could call yours and mine.

D                        G                          A      D
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
