C F G

C
When I was younger
F              C  G  Am (Or: C  E/C  Am)*
All I had to do
                       G
Was hold your hand and drink you in
F
make some time for you
       Am                       G
I went stumbling through the darkness
      F
Of a thousand half-lit bars
        C                                   G
I don't know what I was running from but I must've run to far

         F
Now I'm reaching
         F
Back for something
         Am
But I'm coming
         Am
Up with nothing
       G                          F
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
F
God have mercy on a runaway man
F                   G   C        F  G
God have mercy on a runaway man

C
Key under your doormat
F                          C  G  Am (Or: C   E/C   Am)
The porch light you left lit **
                      G               F
The years dragged on burned away just like a cigarette
Am                       G
The price of all those nights
       F
Never worth the mornings cost
   C                             G
Oh no amount of wishing's gonna bring back what I lost

         F
Now I'm reaching
         F
Back for something
         Am
But I'm coming
         Am
Up with nothing
       G                          F
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
F

God have mercy on a runaway man

F    Am   F    Am
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
