[Gm]
You.
[Cm]
[G] [D]
There's a hungry road, I'm a lonely horse, [Cm] gonna eat me up inside.
[A] There's a living spirit, [D] come and play, [Cm] and I'm a life on [Gm] fire.
Till Monday, [G] I'll be around every week, [Cm] I'm running ahead of [C] my days.
[Dm] In the shotgun [D] chance, [D] to scare the us, I've seen the [C] error of my [Gm] ways.
Oh, [Eb] [D]
[Gm]
well we wrapped ourselves in golden crowns, like [Cm] some God-spitting ring.
Found a [A] way home, written [D] all in math, like [C] red dotting in my veins.
In the hardest towns, the trouble round, [Cm] fear our losing [C]
roads.
[G] I rest and see, [D] the world shut down, [Cm] so dark as no one [G]
knows.
Whoa, [Eb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Gm] whoa.
And I'm [Bb] caught out in the plaza, and I don't feel the pain.
[F] Standing in the stairs, waiting [D] in the rain.
It's [Eb] got to be a [Bb] little more so, can't be loving [F] it all, it's like a runaway train.
I'm out of control, I'm [F] tearing love to pieces.
[D] No man can lie, [Eb] trying to kill a grip on my [Bb] life.
But can't be drunk and [F] inside, in a runaway [Bb] train.
