intro:     E  
EI’m passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so
EI’m fly’in over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below
And it’s hard Ato say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don’t you baby?E  
You keep running Gfor another place
To finDd that saving graceE  E  
EI’m moving on alone 
over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There’s a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens
And it’s hard Ato say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don’t you baby?E  
You keep running Gfor another place
To finDd that saving graceE  
EDon’t you baby?
Riff:
EOh, B  A  G  E  B  A  G  E  B  A  G  A  
E     B  A  G         E     B  A  G         E     B  A  G        A        B
You’re rollEing up the carpet
Of your fathers two-room mansion 
No headroom for expansion no more
And there’s a corner of the floor
They’re telling you is yours
You’re confident but not really sure
And it’s hard Ato say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don’t you baby?E  
You keep running Gfor another place
To fiDnd that saving graceE  E  
Don’t you baby?
You keep running Gfor another place
To fiDnd that saving graceE  E  
Don’t you baby?

Every E chord is played with hand muffled.
All others are played with easy strum.

Saving Grace Tom Petty

intro:

I’m passing sleeping cities

Fading by degrees

Not believing all I see to be so

I’m fly’in over backyards

Country homes and ranches

Watching life between the branches below

And it’s hard to say

Who you are these days

But you run on anyway

Don’t you baby?

You keep running for another place

D E E

To find that saving grace

I’m moving on alone

over ground that no one owns

Past statues that atone for my sins

There’s a guard on every door

And a drink on every floor

Overflowing with a thousand amens

And it’s hard to say

Who you are these days

But you run on anyway

Don’t you baby?

You keep running for another place

D E

To find that saving grace

Don’t you baby?

Riff:

E B A G E B A G E B A G A

Oh,

E B A G E B A G E B A G A B

You’re rolling up the carpet

Of your fathers two-room mansion

No headroom for expansion no more

And there’s a corner of the floor

They’re telling you is yours

You’re confident but not really sure

And it’s hard to say

Who you are these days

But you run on anyway

Don’t you baby?

You keep running for another place

D E E

To find that saving grace

Don’t you baby?

You keep running for another place

D E E

To find that saving grace

Don’t you baby?

E B A G E B A G E B A G E

Every E chord is played with hand muffled.
