D              Em             A                    D
Be happy with the way life is, not think about what once was his
 Em                 A
Whiskey drunk and under the gun
 A                G         D
I'm taking me a midnight run


[Chorus]
 Em
I'm taking me a midnight run
 A           D
I'm making another one
                Em                   E                        A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive   to where I lived when I thought I was alive
                   G                   A
They'll never know I was ever around
                 D
Just my shadow on the ground
             Em               A
I turn east to face the sun
                   G         D
After making me a midnight run


[Solo]
Em | Em | A | D | D | Em | A | D | D |
Em | A | D | D | Em | A | D | D | Em | A | D |


[Verse 2]
 N.C                    Em
I tell you all 'cause you need to know
 A                    D
They don't call for me to go
                     Em                  E
I hear that voice coming 'cross the miles
                 A
I got no choice but to be gone a while
                         G
I say get in you better lock and load
 A                   D
Don't let the wind block the road
               Em
I'll be gone but when it's done
A                    G         D
 I'm all alone on my midnight run


[Chorus]
 Em
I'm taking me a midnight run
 A           D
I'm making another one
                 Em                  E                        A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive   to where I lived when I thought I was alive
                   G                   A
They'll never know I was ever around
                 D
Just my shadow on the ground
             Em               A
I turn east to face the sun
                   G         D
After making me a midnight run
