I would Frun down the lane and Cinto the Amnight
FRun so fast, I swear my Cfeet would Amfly
FRun from my babies, aCsleep in their Ambeds
FRun from my lover and Cmy best Amfriend
GBack again

Kathleen Edwards - Run

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO:

Oh, my child

Thirty years today

You came into my life

And everything changed

There's one thing I tried to teach you

Girl, don't you waste your time

Come this September

You'll be somebody's wife

G F

I won't paint a picture of what you want to see

Em Dm

Love is the harder times, take it from me

F C Am

I would run down the lane and into the night

F C Am

Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly

F C Am

Run from my babies, asleep in their beds

F C Am

Run from my lover and my best friend

And back again

Am C G Am

INSTRUMENTAL:

And all of the courage

I tried so hard to hold on to

Ever since that day

You and your brother left for school

They say, just over that hill

The fog rolled in

And, "Come quick doctor

We think somebody's been killed"

G F

And I have been a healer of other people's pain

Em Dm

Yeah, I know sometimes you don't like the ways I've changed

F C Am

But the smell of the world came into my lungs

F C Am

The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb

F C Am

And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest

F C Am

It felt so good to know I wasn't dead

F C Am

I would run down the lane and into the night

F C Am

Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly

F C Am

Run from my babies, asleep in their beds

F C Am

Run from my lover and my best friend

Back again
