Parts of this solo or "break" since it's not much
are played with a slide I believe, but it sounds
fine without one. I try to get the outro one of these
days.
1st Verse:
A
I can hear that highway calling
D A
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
A
This is usually goodbye
D A
And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her
D
She's like no other woman
E
That I have ever known before
D
And it ain't me to see the morning sun
E
From this side of the door
A D F#m E
Why Ain't I running, Why Ain't I gone
A D F#m E
How Does she hold me without holding on
D *Lick 1 E
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
F#m D
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong
A D E
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running
A A D A D
Why Ain't I Gone
2nd Verse:
A
All those worlds I left behind me
D A
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
A
But if they stood right here beside me
D A
They would never recognize me for all that she's done
D
Once happiness was only
E
Whenever I was on my own
D
So now why do I feel lonely
E
Anytime that I'm alone
Chorus
Solo A D A E A D A E
D
No they've never built a wall that high
E
Or made a chain that strong
D
And God ain't never made a place
E
I felt like I belong
Chorus
*Lick 1
This lick is played in the chorus (In love or in fight...)
