TITLE: Running on Empty
Lyrics and Chords
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up 1-0-1
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
/ C G C G / / / C G D - /
{Refrain}
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
/ C G / / / C G Em - /
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 I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
{Refrain}
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
/ Em C D G / Em D C / G / 1st / C D (C G Am G Em D) /
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 that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
{Refrain}
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind, running on
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find, running blind
Running into the sun but I'm running behind
/ C G / / C D (C G Am G Em D) / / C D C G /
