I guess, Runnin' is one of the songs that shows Adam's voice off to advantage the best
way. So, pity that it's kinda difficult to sing ;-)
Intro
Dm-F-Bb-C
Verse 1
Dm
Steel to my trembling lips
F
How did the night ever get like this?
Bb C Dm
One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
Bottom of the bottle hits
F
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
Bb C Dm
The breaking is takin' me down, down, down
Pre-Chorus
F C
My heart's beating faster
Bb C
I know what I'm after
Chorus

Dm Bb
I've been standing here my whole life
F
Everything I've seen twice
C
Now it's time I realize
Dm
It's spinnin' back alround now
Bb
On this road I'm crawling
F
Save me cause I'm fallin'
C
No, I can't seem to breathe right
Dm
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin',
Bb F
runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin',
C
Runnin' from my heart
Verse 2
Dm
Round and around I go
F
Addicted to the numb living in the cold
Bb C Dm
The higher, the lower, the down, down, down
Sick of being tired and sick
F
And ready for another kind of fix
Bb C Dm
The damage is damning me down, down, down

A life that's always been a dream

I know what I'm after
