Intro: C G C G C G Em—C9 G/B D7 


C                   G          C                G 
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels 
C                   G                     C                 G 
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields 
C                   G             C               G
In sixty five I was seventeen and running up 1 0 1 
C9                     G/B                   D7 
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on 


Refrain: 
        C              G 
Running on, running on empty 
        C           G 
Running on, running blind 
C                G 
Running into the sun 
               Em 
But I'm running behind 


C                G                           C    G 
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive 
C                 G                    C           G 
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive 
C                    G                C                 G 
In sixty nine I was twenty one and I called the road my own 
C9                     G/B                   D7 
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on 


        (Repeat Refrain) 

Bridge: 
Em         C     D7           G 
Everyone I know, everywhere I go 
Em               D7        C 
People need some reason to believe 
                   G 
I don't know about anyone but me 
Em              C      D7/A           G 
If it takes all night, that'll be all right 
C                   D7              C9  G/B D/A G Em G/D 
If I can get you to smile before I leave 


C                  G                     C     G 
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels 
C                   G                     C               G 
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels 
C                     G                      C                  G 
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through 
C9                 G/B             D7/A 
Looking into their eyes I see them running too 


        (Repeat Refrain) 

C                G 
Honey you really tempt me 
             C               G 
You know the way you look so kind 
C           D7/A                           C9   G/B D/A G Em G/D 
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind, 
        C 
Running on  
                      D7/A                    C9   G/B D/A G Em G/D 
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find 
         C                      D7/A                  C9   G/B D/A G
Running Blind, running into the sun but I’m running behind


Outro:  C G C G C G Em—C9 G/B D7
