INTRO:

Em Am C B7 Em

VERSE 1:

Em

There's a hungry road I can only hope's

Am

Gonna eat me up inside

C B7

There's a drifting spirit coming clean

Am Em

In the eye of a lifelong fire

Em

Tell Monday I'll be around next week

Am

I'm running ahead of my days

C B7

In the shotgun chance that scattered us

Am Em

I've seen the error of my ways

C B7 Em

Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh

VERSE 2:

Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns

Like sun gods spitting rain

Found a way home written on this map

Like red dye in my veins

In the hardest times that come around

The fear of losing grows

I've lost and seen the world shut down

It's a darkness no one knows

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

CHORUS:

G

And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain

D B7

Standing in a station waiting in the rain

C G

I'm starting to feel a little muscle again

D G

But love is lost like a runaway train

G

Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands

D B7

I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land

C G

Trying to get a grip on my life again

D G

Nothing hits harder than a runaway train

SOLO: (as for verses)

Em Am C B7 Am Em

Em Am C B7 Am Em

C B7 Em

CHORUS x2

OUTRO:

G D B7 C G D G repeat to fade
