[D] I don't know where [A] I'm running now I'm [E] just waiting for you
I'm running on,
[A] running on empty Running [D] on, [A] running dry
[D] [A] It's fun but I'm running [F#m] behind
You [D] [A] gotta do what you can just to keep your [D] love alive
[A] Try [D] not to [A] confuse it, really what you [D] do [A] to survive
In 69 I was 21, [D] let go of the road [A] I own
[D] I don't know [C#m] when that road turned on [E] me, the road I'm on

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 look [D] for me through

Look [D] in your big [A] old eyes, I see them [E] running through
I'm running on,
[D] [A] running on empty Running on, running dry
[D] I'm running [A] into the sun, but I'm running [F#m] behind
[B] Honey, [F#m]
