I [D] don't know where [A] I'm headed now, I'm [E] just running on
I [A] don't know what I'm doing, I'm just running on
Running on empty, [D] running [A] wild, [D] running [A] to the sun but I'm running [F#m] behind
You
[D] gotta do what you [A] can just to keep your [D] love alive
[A]
Try [D] not to [A] confuse it when I hope you [D] do [A] to survive
At 69 I was 21, [D] I called the road [A] my own
[D] I don't know when [C#m] that road turned [E] on me to the road I'm on
[Bm]
[A] Running on empty, running wild,
[D] running [A] to the sun but [F#m] I'm running [F#] behind

[F#m] Everyone [D] I know, [E] everywhere [A] I go, [F#m] people [E] need some reason to [D] believe
I don't know about [A] anyone but [F#m] you
If it [D] takes all night, [E] that'll [A] be alright
[D] If I can get you to [E] smile before I [D] leave
[A] [Bm] [F#m]
[E] [D] Looking out at [A] the road rushing under my wheel
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 [D] pull me [A] through
[D] Looking into [A] your eyes I see [E] them running through
[A] Running on empty, running wild, [D] running [A] to the sun but I'm running [F#m] behind
[E] [D] Honey you [A] really kept me in [D] the loop [A] so bad
I'm [D] just looking [E] around but I'm running [D] behind
[A] Running [Bm] on empty, [F#m]
running [D] wild, running to [E]
the [D] [A] sun [Bm] but I'm running [A]
