running on empty chords
jackson browne *
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 .
D A D A
gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
D A D A
trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
D A D A
in sixty – nine i was twenty – one , and called the road my own
D A E
i don’t know when that road turned onto the road i’m 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 .
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
people need some reason to believe;
E A D
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
D A D A
looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
D A D A
i don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
D A D A
i look around for the friends i used to turn to , to pull me through
D A E
looking into their eyes i see them running too
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 .
D A D A
honey you really tempt me; you know the way you look so kind
D E D A Bm A E A
i’d love to stick around but i’m running behind
D E D A Bm A E A
you know i don’t even know what i’m hoping to find
D E D A Bm A E A
running into the sun but i’m running behind .
