J.R. Carroll - On The Run

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
G D

[Verse 1]
G
Drop me off at the at the Greyhound station
Am C
Buy me a ticket to anywhere but here, boys
D G Dsus4 D
Guess I’m on the run
G
I’m a leavin’ her memory behind
Am
Dance the dust off these shoes at the county line
C D G Dsus4 D
Tell my family I’m gonna miss’em, tell my friends goodbye

[Chorus]
Em7
So ever since December,
Cadd9
I’ve been tryin’ to remember
G D
Why the hell I’m sticking around,
Em7 Cadd9
This house ain’t felt like home since you
G D Dsus4 D
Upped an’ burned us to the ground
Em7
So I’ve been workin’ like hell
Cadd9 G
To clean up the mess you made
D
Since you left me behind
Em7 Cadd9
No matter how hard I try, a little piece of me
G D
Dies at the end of the night
Em7 Cadd9
Cause you ain’t here, you ain’t comin’ back,
G D
And we didn’t have to end like that
Em7 Cadd9 G
Yeah, I guess one of these days babe you’ll see…
D Em7 Cadd9 G D
You shoulda bet on me,
D Em7 Cadd9 G D
You shoulda bet on me, ohhh

[Verse 2]
G
The truth is I miss her touch,
Am
I try not to think about it much
C D G Dsus4 G
That smile I’ll never see again
G
Now, I remember New Year’s Eve
Am
And that awful shit you said to me
C D
The way I feel about you, babe,
G D Dsus4
You feel about him

[Chorus]
Em7
So ever since December,
Cadd9
I’ve been tryin’ to remember
G D
Why the hell I’m sticking around,
Em7 Cadd9
This house ain’t felt like home since you
G D Dsus4 D
Upped an’ burned us to the ground
Em7
So I’ve been workin’ like hell
Cadd9 G
To clean up the mess you made
D
Since you left me behind
Em7 Cadd9
No matter how hard I try, a little piece of me
G D
Dies at the end of the night
Em7 Cadd9
Cause you ain’t here, you ain’t comin’ back,
G D
And we didn’t have to end like that
Em7 Cadd9 G
Yeah, I guess one of these days babe you’ll see…
D Em7 Cadd9 G D
You shoulda bet on me,
D Em7 Cadd9 G D G
You shoulda bet on me.
