[D] I don't know where [A] I'm [C#m] running now [E] I'm just running

Running right
[D] [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 with what you [D] do [A] to survive
Sixty-nine, I was twenty-one [D] Then I called the road [A] my own
