Verse:
EGA I’m passing sleeping cities EGAEGA Fading by degrees, not believing all I see to be so
[2 measure break] EGA I’m flying over backyards EGAEGAE Country homes and ranches, watching life between the branches below
Chorus:
AA And it’s hard to say, who you are these days AAE But you run on anyway, don’t you baby
G You keep running for another place DE To find that saving grace, Don’t you baby
Verse:
EGAEG I’m moving on alone, over ground that no one owns AEGAE Past statues that atone for my sins EGAE There’s a guard on every door, and a drink on every floor GAEGA Over flowing with a thousand a men’s

*And hammering on the E-chord when I start the riff back over
