It was a dirty town where they’d string a man up just to see his frown
G D Em C
Oh, I smiled as the band started to play
G D Em C
I was just traveling through from another life, a different toon
G D Em C
Oh, Gambling hands and a scar across my face
G D Em C
I knew you were right for me, with another man on the hill, you see,
G D Em C
and your governour daddy was so happy
G D Em C
But still you pick me out, you wrapped your hands around my own
G D Em C
And then we danced for the first time that night
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m on my knees tonight
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m on my knees tonight
G D Em C
Oh, we danced so slow and the crowd, it murmured as your affection showed
G D Em C
and your man said, "Could I cut in?"
G D Em C
You couldn’t keep your eyes off me as I slipped out the backdoor
G D Em C
Oh, followed by three gentlemen up here
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m on my knees tonight
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m running for my life tonight
G Em
Running, running, running, running, running for my life
G Em
Running, running, running, running, running for my love [x2]
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m running for my life tonight
G D Em C
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
G D Em C
I’m running for my life tonight
Whoohoo!
