Intro: Am C Am C 
 
C                
Bless me father I have sinned,  
C                     Am 
I'm not sure where to begin. 
F                             C 
I won't name names or where I've been,  
C                       G     C 
But I've been there and back again. 
C               
No Hail Mary?s will save me,  
C                        Am 
You learned to live with memories,  
F                           C 
Here, slip this sinner up your sleeve,  
C                   G    C 
Just stay inside until I leave. 
 
C         F C            F C 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
C     F      C           G 
Never have both feet on the floor. 
G         F C            F Am 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
    F    G           C   
Now I ain?t runnning anymore...  
 
C 
The hands of time may tick no more 
C                           Am 
Let darkness fall upon this door 
F                          C 
No waves will wash up on this shore 
C                   G        C 
I won the fight but lost the war. 
 
C         F C            F C 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
C     F      C           G 
Never have both feet on the floor. 
G         F C            F Am 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
    F    G           C   
Now I ain?t runnning anymore... 
 
Solo: Am Am C C Am Am G G 
 
C 
There were roses I have loved 
C                          Am 
Who've given or have given up 
F          Am       F   C    
I pushed your patience and my luck 
F      Am     F   C 
It wasn't love I didn't trust 
F      Am     F    C 
It wasn't you, or me, or us 
F              Am       F      C 
You've shouldered ifs, and ands, and buts 
F          Am F               G 
It?s not that way ok, I've said too much 
 
 
C         F C            F C 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
C     F      C           G 
Never have both feet on the floor. 
G         F C            F Am 
I've been run--ning, always run--ning 
    F    G           C   
Now I ain?t runnning anymore... 
 
Outro: Am C Am C
