Well I got a heart that burns with a fever And I got a worried and a jealous mind How can a love that'll last forever Get left so far behind So what in the world's come over you And what in heaven's name have I done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness You're out there running just to be on the run [Instrumental, same chords as one verse] It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow It's crossed the evil line today (') How can you ask about tomorrow When we ain't got one word to say So what in the world's come over you And what in heaven's name have I done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness You're out there running just to be on the run So what in the world's come over you And what in heaven's name have I done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness You're out there running just to be on the run You're out there running just to be on the run D D G C D G.
