[Verse 1]
G                C                      G    C
That's a big old town, but it's full of liars
G                 C                          G     Am
Men in suits sell water 'fore they run their fires
C
So many lights, you can't see the stars
                                         G      C
And so many bars pourin' hope for broken hearts
  Am7
Believe in the priests who think that God is gone
          D                               G  C  G
If you're wondering what I'm runnin' from
 
 
[Verse 2]
G          C                            G     C
When I was young, I couldn't sing about Jesus
G            C                  G
Now, I'm not sure if if I'm a believer
     C
It's hard to tell 'tween faith and fear
                                             G
So these old hands haven't seen a prayer for years
Am7
Try to save my soul with a Sunday song
          D
If you're wondering what I'm runnin' from

[Verse 3]
G             C                         G       C
I'm afraid of love 'cause I'm afraid of fallin'
G              C                    G
So I can never give what you really wanted
C
You can't fail if you nеver try
                                                G
And you can't get burned if you nеver play with fire
        Am
But the memory of her is never gone
          D
If you're wondering what I'm runnin' from

[Verse 4]
G           C                    G       C
So pour one more for this lonely rambler
G           C                         G
Who is too afraid to be a high-stakes gambler
  C
I wear my story on my skin
                                             G
But what you don't see is the black dog followin'
     Am7
It's been right behind me all along
D                                  G
Maybe it's me that I'm runnin' from
     Am7
It's been right behind me all along
    D
Oh, maybe it's me that I'm runnin' from
