Runnin

fingerstyle G Gmaj7 G6 G G Gmaj7 G6 G G Every word of every verse Every gift an every curse C He's everybody's hero You act like you're the first D You try to talk just like 'em But you can't find the words G D Hoping someday you will find your own G You stand up on the stages Steeling jokes and turnin' phrases C Drinking Bali high wine 'Til you're too drunk to play D But babe I know you better than these bad impersonations G D Nobody is better off alone C If you ever stop runnin' G I wanna be the one you run to D If you ever find your own song G G7 I wanna be the one it's sung to C If you stop going wrong G D/F# Em And you need someone to hold onto C I might not be Loretta but I can love you better D Than any road or any song will do G Gmaj7 G6 G Yeah your songs are pretty good But your voice it ain't impressin' C They say singers come from Tennessee Poets come from Texas D And I'm hopin' you'll come back to me When you start feeling restless G D I'll give you something you can sing about G 'Cause it's like pullin' teeth To get a man like you to see C You can ride that old freightliner Just as far as you can dream D But you ain't gonna find it And I ain't gonna be G D Just another Carolina in your song C If you ever stop runnin' G I wanna be the one you run to D If you ever find your own song G G7 I wanna be the one it's sung to C If you stop going wrong G D/F# Em And you need someone to hold onto C Half as pretty as Kathleen But hell I'm just as mean D G And she ain't gonna love you like I do C If you ever stop runnin' G I wanna be the one you run to D If you ever find your own song G G7 I wanna be the one it's sung to C If you stop going wrong G D/F# Em And you need someone to hold onto C I ain't your gypsy sally And I ain't Jordan Reed D And they ain't gonna love you D7 G Half as much as me ======= G Smokin' and drinkin' again D Long nights for days on end G You know I'm thinkin' about ramblin' Em C When I start listenin' to Merle G D G You know I'm my daddy's girl G When I'm distant and cold to the touch I deny you but I want you so much When ya can't seem to reach me Em C In my own little world G D G Remember I'm my daddy's girl D 'Cause he's in my blood G Lord, he's in my bones D G His reckless ways are all I've ever known Em So don't try to change me C 'Cause Lord knows I'll run A Before I know what I'm doing D D7 Oh, the damage is done G I could love you with all of my might Then leave you, not even know why There's a lot of hard lessons Em C I may never learn G D G C But remember I'm my daddy's girl G D G Please forgive me, I'm my daddy's girl Oh, Lord knows I am X
