Running On Fumes chords by King Creosote

Standard tuning
Capo on 4th fret

You will only be picking the A, G, and B strings throughout the entire song.
Fingerpicking will make this much easier.

In any case, we will be playing the following:

Cadd9   Dsus2/A    Em7       Am        E        C       Em
e|-x-|   e|-x-|   e|-x-|   e|-x-|   e|-x-|   e|-x-|   e|-x-|
B|-3-|   B|-3-|   B|-3-|   B|-1-|   B|-0-|   B|-1-|   B|-0-|
G|-0-|   G|-2-|   G|-0-|   G|-2-|   G|-1-|   G|-0-|   G|-0-|
D|-x-|   D|-x-|   D|-x-|   D|-x-|   D|-x-|   D|-x-|   D|-x-|

I tried to keep the chords line up with the corresponding lyrics - let me know if anything is off!


Intro: Cadd9   Dsus2/A   Cadd9   Em7


Cadd9     Dsus2/A
And what do you mean?

    Cadd9                Em7
Our hill's not all that steep

          Cadd9             Em7
When the gauge reads half a tank

            Am                   E
And yet you run on fumes for a week



Dsus2/A            C           Em
And you and I, we once looked fine

Dsus2/A              Am               E
Until you split your lip against the side of my face

Dsus2/A          C                     Am
So why do we bother with all this fighting?

                        E               Dsus2/A
And especially at our age


(You'll have to listen to hear how he transitions from Dsus2/A to Cadd9 here)
Cadd9      Dsus2/A
And you never did

Cadd9            Em7
Write down their names

Cadd9                   Em7
So why break bones for them?

    Am                   E
And blackened nights you rage


Dsus2/A            C           Em
And you and I, we once looked great

Dsus2/A           Am       E
And you and I, we sounded fine

Dsus2/A           C                   Am
And you had hit notes, but also high carbs

                C                       Dsus2/A
I gave long stares, but I now take shorter steps


Cadd9           Dsus2/A
For after our accident

Cadd9          Em7
we lost our no claims

Cadd9                         Em7
And now I hate those pastel shades

      Am                         E
That are just within my vision range


Dsus2/A            C           Em
And you and I, we once looked fine

Dsus2/A              Am               E
Until you split your lip against the side of my face

Dsus2/A          C                 Am
So why do we bother with all this fighting?

                        E
And especially at our age


Outro: Dsus2/A  Cadd9(x2) Em7(x2)
