Running to Stand Still

D and G to start with some slide guitar and piano


[Verse 1]
D                            G
So she woke up, woke up from where she was, lyin' still
      D                                         G
Said "I, I gotta do somethin' about where we're goin'"
D
  Stepped on steam train
G
  Stepped out of the driving rain, maybe
D                               G
  Run from the darkness, in the night.


[Chorus]
Singing
A
Ah,
         C/G   G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
A        C/G   G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
      D              G
Ah-la-la-de-day


[Verse 2]
D                         G
Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
D                                G
  I see seven towers, but I only see one way out
          D
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
G
scream without raising your voice
                    D
You know I took the poison
                               G
From the poison stream, then I floated, out of here


[Chorus 2]
Singing
A
Ah,
         C/G   G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
A        C/G   G
Ah-la-la-la-de-day
      D
Ah-la-la-de-day


[Interlude/Bridge]
D                      G
Oooooooooooo,  Ooo Ooo Ooo  Oooooo
D                      G
Oooooooooooo,  Ooo Ooo Ooo  Oooooo


[Verse 3]
D
She runs through the streets with eyes painted red
G
Under a black belly of clouds in the rain
D
in through a doorway, she brings me
G
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
       D                           G
she is raging she is raging and storm blows up in her eyes


[Ending Chorus]
She will,
A          C/G    G        A
suffer the needle chill,
                 C/G  G   D
She's running to stand,   still.

(Harmonica Riff played over D and G chord progression to end song)
