G [Verse 1]G Bitterly and I went to the doorC G Am Hoping cheering on a brief light I knowAm It never glowsD Still as long as I walked outsideG Turning the corner and out of sightC G Am If I were to be honest, it's really not that badD Do I try to be sad? (Do I try to be sad?)C G Break the rules and I might smile tonight [Chorus]D C Am And warm house blows cold outBm C D As I step once more for homeC Am Warm house blows cold outBm C D C G A C G And it's so rare to be alone [Verse 2]D There's a man out on the floor and he's fallen from blowsF C G Well, I'm not even sure if he was just a drunken dreamerD Drunken dreamerC I don't knowAm Bm C Dreaming of the promised landD G But he doesn't see belowD Did he run from his sight to the side of the nightF C That came into your possession?D As I slip down the street of the shining lightF C Does my head keep my feet's succession? [Bridge]B7 Is that your last word?Em I do not reallyG B7 Make your reply heardEm C G Will you pray so dearly for an hour of joy?D C G And I'm running, running, runningA D C G Running, running running, runningD C Bm A C G Running, running, running, running, running away [Guitar Solo]D C G D C G [Chorus]D C Am And warm house though blows cold outBm C D As I step once more for homeC Am Warm house though blows cold outBm C Am D C G D C G And it's so rare to alone [Refrain]D C G A And I'm running, running, running, runningD C G D Running, running, running, runningC G D C G Running, running, running, running [Outro]F C I turn my eyes from the sights I seeF C And I need the change to frighten meD C G D And I'm running, running, running, runningC G D Running, running, running, runningC G C G Running, running, running, runningD F In a warm house blows cold outC G As I step once more for home
