[Verse]
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 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

[Verse]
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

[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 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

[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

[Chorus] (x2)
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

[Outro]
D                  D                         G     C    D    G
  You're out there running just to be on the run
