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.
