Daniel Fred And Julie - Runner

      [Intro]
Bm

[Verse]

Bm
I've been called a runner
  D               A
I always leave my place
Bm
Racing to another
        A             Bm
Another town, another face
Bm
The road's become my lover
    D             A
Gasoline fuels my soul
Bm
And i came back to your town
A                  Bm
I'd just as quickly go

[Chorus]

D
So don't you rely on me
A                           Bm
'cause i won't be there for you
Bm       A    G     Bm       A  G
No woman i've found can slow me down
G        A            Bm
And i'll die before i do


[Verse]

Bm
The day i left my mother
   D                     A
My hands were smooth and small
Bm
She warned me then about my ways
        A             Bm
But her words i can't recall
Bm
It was something about running
D                 A
And killing of my pride
Bm
Don't think of it that often
  A              Bm
I never made the time


[Chorus]

D
So don't you rely on me
A                           Bm
'cause i won't be there for you
Bm       A    G     Bm       A  G
No woman i've found can slow me down
G        A            Bm
And i'll die before i do


[Verse]

Bm
They found me in the gutter
        D            A
Off the highway seventeen
Bm
I was going back to my hometown
       A              Bm
When i slipped into a dream


[Slower Verse]


Bm
I was lying by my mother's side
           D                  A
When these words she spoke to me
Bm
"from the ground the nest cannot be found
     A                  Bm
By a bird with a broken wing"
