A D9 A D9
A
I can hear that highway calling
D9 A D9
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
A
This is usually goodbye
D9 A D9
And yet those words I just can?t find here as I hold her
D9
She?s like no other woman
E
That I have ever known before
D9
And it ain?t me to see the morning sun
E4 E
From this side of the door
A D9 F#m E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone
A D9 F#m E
How does she hold me without holding on
D9 E
In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong
F#m E D9
Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong
F#m D9 E
It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running
A A F#m E4
Why ain?t I gone
A
All those worlds I left behind me
D9 A D9
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
A
But if they stood right here beside me
D9 A D9
They would never recognize me for all that she?s done
D9
Once happiness was only
E
Whenever I was on my own
D9
So now why do I feel lonely
E4 E
Any time that I?m alone
A D9 F#m E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone
A D9 F#m E
How does she hold me without holding on

In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong

Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong

It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running
F#m D9 A E
F#m D9 A E
D9
No, they?ve never built a wall that high
E
Or made a chain that strong
D9
And God ain?t never made a place
E4 E
I felt like I belong
A D9 F#m E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone
A D9 F#m E
How does she hold me without holding on
D9 E
In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong
F#m E D9
Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong

It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running
