[Intro]
Am Bb C Dm Bb C F Am
[Verse 1]
Am G F
I never knew how empty , how alone, how cold, how slow
C G
Ticket on a one-track railroad to a solo seat below
F C F
If you need a place to lay your head, and gentle company
Am G F Am
I’ll save a seat beside me, you can come running to me, girl
G Am
You can come running to me
[Verse 2]
Am G F
I can build a shelter to keep you from the cold
C G
And I can shoot the wolf at night, watch you as you grow
F C F
Home fires are a burning, our babies on your knee
Am G F Am
Whispered kisses on your mouth, you can come running to me, boy
G Am
You can come running to me
[Chorus]
Am C
Come running to you, come running to you
G Dm
When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
Am C
Come running to you, come running to you
G Dm
When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
[Instrumental]
Am Bb C Dm Am Bb C F Am
[Verse 3]
Am G F
I spent most of my whole life with a bucket and a spade
C G
One to carry things I love, one to bury the things I hate
F C F
You won’t have to dig that hole, an empty heart is free
Am G F Am
Clear to make a brand new start, you can come running to me, girl
G Am
You can come running to me
[Chorus]
Am C
Come running to you, come running to you
G Dm
When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
Am C
Come running to you, come running to you
G Dm
When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you
[Instrumental]
