        Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning,  in the rain.
        E              A               E                    A          E      A   E   A 
        Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake.
        E              A            E              A            E     A        E     A
        Each of us was humming to a half forgotten echo hanging over,   in the brain.
        B7                               A                             E     A   E   A
        Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take.

        Losin' to the rising cost of living high and lovin' hard and leavin' ever yesterday behind.
        E              A                   E              A                         
        Learnin' every bridge you cross is burning down before you're off, 
            E                A             E      A
        and running like the devil just in time.

        Breakin' any ties before they bind you, takin' any comfort you can find.
        D                                  E
        Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time ~~~~,   
                D                              A          G
        Take it all, (take it easy) 'till it's over, understandin', 
                                                        A                  E    A   E   A

        Good lookin' women every time you stumble, 
        E                A                   E      A
        waitin' there to catch you where you fall.
        E               A             E                A
        Getting' to you bad enough to let 'em keep you backin' up,
              E                A                  E     A
        'till just before your back's against the wall.
