([C][C] [C][G][G]) x3 [Em] [C][G][D]
[C] Lookin’ out at the [G] road rushin’ under my [C] wheels [G]
[C] Looking back at the [G] years going by like [C] so many summer fields [G]
[C] In sixty-five I was [G] seventeen [C] runnin’ up 101 [G]
[C] I don’t know where I’m [G] runnin’ now, I’m just [D] runnin’ on
{c: }
Runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ on [G] empty
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ [G] blind
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ into the [G] sun
but I’m runnin’ be[Em]hind
{c: }
[C] Gotta do what you [G] can just to keep your [C] love alive [G]
[C] Tryin’ not to con-[G]fuse it with what you [C] do to sur-[G]vive
[C] In sixty-nine I was [G] twenty-one and I [C] called the road my [G] own
[C] I don’t know when that [G] road turned onto the [D] road I’m on
{c: }
Runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ on [G] empty
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ [G] blind
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ into the [G] sun
but I’m runnin’ be[Em]hind
{c: }
[C] [C] [C] [G] [G] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
{c: }
[Em] Everyone I [C] know [D] everywhere I [G] go
[Em] people need some [D] reason to be[C]lieve
I don’t know about [G] anyone but me
[Em] If it takes all [C] night [D]that’ll be all [G]right
[Em] if I can get you to [D] smile before I [C] leave[G] [Am] [Em] [C] [D]
{c: }
[C] Lookin’ out at the [G] road rushin’ under my [C] wheels [G]
[C] I don’t know how to [G] tell you all just how [C] crazy this life feels [G]
[C] Look around for the friends that [G] I used to turn to to pull me [C] through [G]
[C] Lookin’ into their [G] eyes I see them [D] runnin’ too
{c: }
Runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ on [G] empty
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ [G] blind
runnin’ [C] on, runnin’ into the [G] sun
but I’m runnin’ be[Em]hind
{c: }
[C] Honey you really [G] tempt me,
You know the [C] way you look so [G] kind
[C] I’d love to stick around [D] but I’m runnin’ be[C]hind[G] [Am] [G]
[C] You know I don’t even [D] know what I’m hoping to [C] find [G] [Am]
Runnin’ into the [D] sun but I’m runnin’ be[C]hind [G] [Am] [G]
