INTRO 
 
 
Am7             G/B             C 
 I've seen that darkness on the edge of town, 
Am7           G/B        C 
 The sun come up and the rain fall down. 
Am7              G/B  C                G    (*1) 
 And I've been a fool, yeah I've been around. 
Am7           G/B          C 
 And when the world got to much for me, 
Am7     G/B            C  
 I took off and left a memory. 
Am7         G/B              C                 G   (*2) 
 Thinking I'd find something better for me somehow, 
 
Oh but now: 
 
 
 
           F 
Whenever I run, 
                            C 
Instead of running into the blue 
  G         F 
I follow my heart. 
                  Am7 
And there in your arms 
   C 
Is where I find the love I need, 
Dm 
 And the best is yet to come, 
F                          Am7  F  Am7  F  (*3) 
 Baby you're the one I run to. 
 
 
 
Am7        G/B          C 
 I used to quit when it got too tough, 
Am7          G/B        C                   Am7 
 Throw in my cards when I was down on my luck. 
G/B       C                    G   (*2) 
 But baby you mean too much to me, 
 
So now: 
 
 
 
           F 
Whenever I run, 
                            C 
Instead of running into the blue 
  G         F 
I follow my heart. 
                  Am7 
And there in your arms 
   C 
Is where I find the love I need, 
Dm 
 And the best is yet to come, 
F                          Am7  Fmaj7 
 Baby you're the one I run to. 
 
 
 
Am7                 Fmaj7 
 I never could stay in one place too long, 
Am7                Fmaj7 
 I never could stand that still. 
Am7                     Fmaj7 
 Oh, but you changed so much in me, 
    D7 
And now I know I will. 
 
 
 
Am7        G/B            C 
 I'm gonna stay where the love is right, 
Am7     G/B              C 
 I'm so tired of being a bird in flight. 
Am7   G/B 
 Good love takes work 
C                 G     (*4)  
 Oh, but that's alright, 
               
That's alright. 
 
 
 
 
           F 
Whenever I run, 
                            C 
Instead of running into the blue 
  G         F 
I follow my heart. 
                  Am7 
And there in your arms 
   C 
Is where I find the love I need, 
Dm 
 And the best is yet to come, 
F                   Am7 
 You're the only one. 
  F                         C 
Instead of running into the blue 
  G         F 
I follow my heart. 
                  Am7 
And there in your arms 
       C                
That's where I find the love I need, 
Dm 
 And the best is yet to come, 
F                          Am7  F  (*3) 
 Baby you're the one I run to. 
              Am7  F  (*3) 
The one I run to. 
              Am7  Fmaj7 
The one I run to.
