 G                                       C     
  You come home late and you come home early
 D                                      G     G 
  You come on big when you're feeling small
 G                                           C     
  You come home straight and you come home curly
 D                D7                G 
  Sometimes you don't come home at all.

 G                 G           C          
  So what in the world's come over you
 D                                  G 
  And what in heaven's name have I done.
 G                     G                    C           
  You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
 D                  D7                         G     
  You're out there running just to be on the run.


 G                                    C  
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever,
 D                                  G 
And I got a worried and a jealous mind.
 G                               C   
How can a love that'll last forever,
 D   D7              G  
Get left so far behind.

 G                 G           C          
  So what in the world's come over you
 D                                  G 
  And what in heaven's name have I done.
 G                     G                    C           
  You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
 D                  D7                         G     
  You're out there running just to be on the run.

[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]

 G                G                       C  
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow,
 D                             G 
It's crossed the evil line today.
 G                        C   
How can you ask about tomorrow,
 D             D7              G  
When we ain't got one word to say.

 G                 G           C          
  So what in the world's come over you
 D                                  G 
  And what in heaven's name have I done.
 G                     G                    C           
  You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
 D                  D7                         G     
  You're out there running just to be on the run.
 G                 G           C          
  So what in the world's come over you
 D                                  G 
  And what in heaven's name have I done.
 G                     G                    C           
  You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
 D                  D7                         G     
  You're out there running just to be on the run.
