***INTRO: 
G   G   C   C   D   D   G   G 

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 
G         G         C      C
So what in the world's come over you 
D      D         G       G
And what in heaven's name have I 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 
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 
D            D         G G
Get left so far behind 
G           G        C      C
So what in the world's come over you 
D        D         G       G
And what in heaven's name have I 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 
 
**Instrumental, same chords as one verse** 
G            G              C   C
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow 
D          D                  G    G
It's crossed the evil line today (?) 
G          G                C  C
How can you ask about tomorrow 
D         D            G    G
When we ain't got one word to say 
G           G        C      C
So what in the world's come over you 
D        D         G       G
And what in heaven's name have I 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 
G           G              C    C
So what in the world's come over you 
D         D              G   G
And what in heaven's name have I 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 
G           G        C          C
You're out there running just to be on the run 
D            D                  G    C   D   G.
You're out there running just to be on the run
