[Verse]
C
When I was younger
F C G Am (Or: C E/C Am)*
All I had to do
G
Was hold your hand and drink you in
F
make some time for you
Am G
I went stumbling through the darkness
F
Of a thousand half-lit bars
C G
I don't know what I was running from but I must've run to far
[Chorus]
F
Now I'm reaching
F
Back for something
Am
But I'm coming
Am
Up with nothing
G F
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
F
God have mercy on a runaway man
F G C F G
God have mercy on a runaway man
[Verse]
C
Key under your doormat
F C G Am (Or: C E/C Am)
The porch light you left lit **
G F
The years dragged on burned away just like a cigarette
Am G
The price of all those nights
F
Never worth the mornings cost
C G
Oh no amount of wishing's gonna bring back what I lost
[Chorus]
F
Now I'm reaching
F
Back for something
Am
But I'm coming
Am
Up with nothing
G F
It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
F
God have mercy on a runaway man
F G C
God have mercy on a runaway man

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh

It's a long long way from where I was to where I am
