[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 (2x)
[Verse 1]
G
I can hear that highway calling
Cadd9
As I watch the sunrise crawling across
G Cadd9
her shoulder
G
This is usually goodbye
Cadd9
And yet those words I just can’t find
G Cadd9
here as I hold her
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9
She’s like no other woman
D
That I have ever known before
Cadd9
And it ain’t me to see the morning sun
D
From this side of the door
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 E D
Why Ain’t I Running, why ain’t I gone
G Cadd9
How does she hold me without
E D
holding on
Cadd9
In love or a fight, she’s stronger
D
than strong
E
Something’s not right if there ain’t
D Cadd9
nothing wrong
E Cadd9
It’s got me wondering, Why Ain’t I
D
Running
G G E D
Why ain’t I gone
[Verse 2]
G
All those worlds I left behind me
Cadd9
Praying they would never find me and
G Cadd9
my freedom
G
But if they stood right here beside me
Cadd9
They would never recognize me for all
G Cadd9
that she’s done
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9
Once happiness was only
D
Whenever I was on my own
Cadd9
So now why do I feel lonely
D
Any time that I’m alone
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 E D
Why Ain’t I Running, why ain’t I gone
G Cadd9
How does she hold me without
E D
holding on
Cadd9
In love or a fight, she’s stronger
D
than strong

E Cadd9 G D (2x)
[Bridge]
No, they’ve
Cadd9
never built a wall that high
D
Or made a chain that strong
Cadd9
And God ain’t never made a place
D
I felt like I belong
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 E D
Why Ain’t I Running, why ain’t I gone
G Cadd9
How does she hold me without
E D
holding on
Cadd9
In love or a fight, she’s stronger
