This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

VERSE 1:
C/G G C/G G
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
C/G G C/G G
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
C/G G C/G G
In '65, I was seventeen and running up 101
C G/B D
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
CHORUS:
C/G G C/G G
Running on, running on empty, running on, running blind
C/G G Em
Running into the sun but I'm running behind
VERSE 2:
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In '69, I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO (REPEAT INTRO)
BRIDGE:
Em C D G
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
Em D C
People need some reason to believe
G
I don't know about anyone but me
Em C D G
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
C D C G/B Am G Em D
If I can get you to smile before I leave
VERSE 3:
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO:
C/G G C/G G
Honey you really tempt me you know the way you look so kind
C D C G/B Am G Em D
I'd love to stick around, but I'm running behind
C D C G/B Am G Em D
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
C D C G/B Am G
Running into the sun, but I'm running behind
