Running On Empty - Jackson Browne
INTRO: C C/G G x3, Em
[C] Looking out at the [G]road rushing under my [C]wheels [C/G G]
[C] Looking back at the [G]years gone by like so [C]many summer [C/G G]fields
[C] In sixty-five I was [G]seventeen and [C]running up [C/G G]1-0-1
[C] I don’t know where I’m [G]running now I’m just [D]running on
Running [C]on, Running on [C/G G]empty, Running [C]on, Running [C/G G]blind
Running [C]on, Running into the [G]sun but I’m running be[Em]hind
[C] Gotta do what you [G]can just to keep your [C]love alive [C/G G]
[C] Trying not-to-con[G]fuse it with what you-[C]do to-survive [C/G G]
[C] In sixty-nine I was [G]twenty-one and I [C]called the road my [C/G G]own
[C] I don’t know when that [G]road turned onto the [D]road I’m on
Running [C]on, Running on [C/G G]empty, Running [C]on, Running [C/G G]blind
Running [C]on, Running into the [G]sun but I’m running be[Em]hind
GUITAR: [C C/G G, C C/G G, C C/G G, D]
[Em] Everyone I [C]know, [D] everywhere I [G]go
[Em] People need some [D]reason to be[C]lieve, I don’t know about [G]anyone but me
[Em] If it takes all [C]night, [D] that’ll be all [G]right
[C] If I can get you to [D]smile before I [C]leave [ C/G G, C C/G G]
[C] Looking out at the [G]road rushing under my [C]wheels [C/G G]
[C] I don’t know how-to-[G]tell-you all just how-[C]crazy this-life [C/G G]feels
[C] I look around for the [G]friends that I used to [C]turn to to pull me [C/G G]through
[C] Looking into their [G]eyes I see them [D]running too
Running [C]on, Running on [C/G G]empty, Running [C]on, Running [C/G G]blind
Running [C]on, Running into the [G]sun but I’m running be[Em]hind
[C] Honey you really [G]tempt me, you know the [C]way you look so kind [C/G G]
[C] I’d love to-stick-a[G]round but I’m running-be[D]hind
Running [C]on, Running on [C/G G]empty, Running [C]on, Running [C/G G]blind
Running [C]on, Running into the [G]sun but I’m running be[Em]hind
