Intro: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G Em?C9 G/BG/B D7D7


C majorC          G+G     C majorC        G+G
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
C majorC          G+G           C majorC         G+G
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
C majorC          G+G       C majorC        G+G
In sixty five I was seventeen and running up 1 0 1
C9C9           G/BG/B          D7D7
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on


Refrain:
    C majorC       G+G
Running on, running on empty
    C majorC      G+G
Running on, running blind
C majorC        G+G
Running into the sun
        E minorEm
But I'm running behind


C majorC        G+G              C majorC  G+G
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
C majorC         G+G          C majorC      G+G
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
C majorC          G+G        C majorC         G+G
In sixty nine I was twenty one and I called the road my own
C9C9           G/BG/B          D7D7
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

    (Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
E minorEm     C majorC   D7D7      G+G
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
E minorEm        D7D7    C majorC
People need some reason to believe
          G+G
I don't know about anyone but me
E minorEm       C majorC   D7/A      G+G
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
C majorC          D7D7       C9C9 G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G E minorEm G/DG/D
If I can get you to smile before I leave


C majorC         G+G           C majorC   G+G
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
C majorC          G+G           C majorC        G+G
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
C majorC           G+G           C majorC         G+G
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
C9C9         G/BG/B       D7/A
Looking into their eyes I see them running too


    (Repeat Refrain)

C majorC        G+G
Honey you really tempt me
       C majorC        G+G
You know the way you look so kind
C majorC      D7/A              C9C9  G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G E minorEm G/DG/D
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind,
    C majorC
Running on
           D7/A          C9C9  G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G E minorEm G/DG/D
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
     C majorC           D7/A         C9C9  G/BG/B D/AD/A G+G
Running Blind, running into the sun but I?m running behind
