Johnny Cash - The Running Kind (with Tom Petty) chords
Start Jamming...
One, two, three, [E] four.
[A]
[B]
This had to be an exit [E] for the running kind.
Within me there's a prison, surrounding me alone.
As real as any dungeon with its [A] walls of stone.
I [B] know running's not the answer, though running's been my nature.
And the thing in me that keeps me [E] moving on.
I was born the running kind, with leaving always on my mind.
Home was never home to me [A]
at any time.
Every [B]
front door found me hoping I would find the back door open.
There just had to be an exit [E] for the running kind.
