Running on Empty
Chords v1

D D\A 3x, F#m    , F#m D E

D                              A                                        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 101

D                                     A                                  E

I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

                 D                       A

Running on, running on empty

                D                     A

Running on, running blind

               D                                A                                      F#m   (E)

Running on, running into the sun, 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

  D A  D A  D A  F#m D E

F#m            D          E                A

Everyone I know, everywhere I go

F#m                         E                            D              E                       A               D        

People need some reason to believe;  I don't know about anyone but me

F#m               D       E                  A

If it takes all night, that'll be all right

D                            E                       D            Bm A E A

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

D                              A                                     D                          A

Honey you really tempt me; you know the way you look so kind

D                               E                                          D           A/C# Bm A F#m E

I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind

D                                    E                                          D      A/C# Bm A F#m E

 

You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find

D                          E                                        D                  A/C# Bm A F#m E

Running into the sun but I'm running behind.

D D\A 10x
