              I guess, Runnin' is one of the songs that shows Adam's voice off to advantage the best  
way. So, pity that it's kinda difficult to sing ;-) 
 
 
Intro 
 
Dm-F-Bb-C 
 
 
verse 1 
 
Dm 
Steel to my trembling lips 
            F 
How did the night ever get like this? 
    Bb           C            Dm 
One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down 
 
Bottom of the bottle hits 
             F 
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit 
    Bb          C         Dm 
The breaking is takin' me down, down, down 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
F                  C 
My heart's beating faster 
  Bb            C 
I know what I'm after 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Dm                         Bb 
I've been standing here my whole life 
                F 
Everything I've seen twice 
                C 
Now it's time I realize 
                   Dm 
It's spinnin' back alround now 
                 Bb 
On this road I'm crawling 
                  F 
Save me cause I'm fallin' 
                    C 
No, I can't seem to breathe right 
             Dm 
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', 
Bb                                  F 
runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', 
                C 
Runnin' from my heart 
 
 
verse 2 
 
Dm 
Round and around I go 
                F 
Addicted to the numb living in the cold 
    Bb          C          Dm 
The higher, the lower, the down, down, down 
 
Sick of being tired and sick 
              F 
And ready for another kind of fix 
    Bb        C          Dm 
The damage is damning me down, down, down 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge 
 
Dm    Bb (Dm)           F    C 
Woaho-o-eoh, I'm coming alive 
Dm    Bb (Dm)    F               C 
Woaho-o-eo, I'll wake up now and live 
Dm    Bb (Dm)           F    C 
Woaho-o-eoh, I'm coming alive 
  Gm                 (Bb)   C 
A life that's always been a dream 
Gm                 C 
So wake up now and live 
 
Dm                         Bb 
I've been standing here my whole life 
   Gm              C 
My heart's beating faster 
  Gm            C 
I know what I'm after 
 
 
Chorus 
 
        Dm 
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', 
Bb                                 F 
runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' 
                C 
Runnin' from my heart
