D A
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
D A D
A
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
D A D
A
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one o one
D A/C E
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
CHORUS:
D A
Running on, running on empty
D A
Running on, running blind
D A
Running on, running into the sun
F#m
But I'm running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on.
CHORUS
CHORUS II:
F#m D E A
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
F#m E D
People need some reason to believe
A F#m
I don't know about anyone but me
D E A
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
D E D A/C
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
Chorus
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.
