Intro: C  

verse 1 

                                    F         G 
You come home late and you come home early 
                                    C       F  C 
You come on big when you're feeling small 
                                        F         G 
You come home straight and you come home curly 
                                 C     F  C 
Sometimes you don't come home at all 

                            F           G 
So what in the world's come over you 
                               C      F  C 
What in heaven's name have you done 
                                        F           G 
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 
                                     C              F  C 
You're out there running just to be on the run 

verse 2 

                             F               G 
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever 
                                  C       F  C 
And I got a worried and a jealous mind 
                         F           G 
How can a love that lasts forever 
                  C      F  C 
Get left so far behind 

                            F           G 
So what in the world's come over you 
                               C      F  C 
What in heaven's name have you done 
                                        F            G 
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 
                                     C              F  C 
You're out there running just to be on the run

verse 3 

                              F              G 
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow 
                          C       F  C 
It's crossed the evil line today 
                     F             G 
How can you ask about tomorrow 
                          C        F  C 
When we ain't got one word to say 

                         F           G 
What in the world's come over you 
                               C      F  C 
What in heaven's name have you done 
                                        F           G 
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness 
                                     C            G 
You're out there running just to be on the run 
                                     C            G 
You're out there running just to be on the run 
                                     C            F  C 
You're out there running just to be on the run
