VERSE 1:
G                G                       C     C
  You come home late and you come home early
D              D                        G     G
  You come on big when you're feeling small
G                  G                         C     C
  You come home straight and you come home curly
D                D                  G    G
  Sometimes you don't come home at all

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

VERSE 2
G             G                       C     C
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
D              D                   G     G
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
G           G                   C     C
How can a love that'll last forever
G           G             C     C
Get left so far behind







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