Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties - Runnin Toward The Light Chords

  [Intro] 
E F#m A E F#m A B


[Verse 1]
E
I used to hate all my dad's old outlaw country bands
A                             B
He'd play me when I was young
E
'Cause they'd lie through their teeth about the lives they lead
A                                  B
When all I wanted were honest songs
A
But now they're anthems in the van
                                      C#m
And we're screaming them out on the highway
B
For good luck
A 
In the bright blistering sun


[Chorus]
E        F#m         A
Runnin' toward the light
B
On the shoulder of a dream
E         F#m       A
I'm singing in my sleep
E        F#m        A
Runnin' toward the light
B
I stagger through the streets
E       F#m      A
I sing it in my sleep

C#m B

[Verse 2]
 E                                                                B
Cream fights through truck-stop coffee here in the quiet purple dawn
 E
Last night we played another highway bar, for the first time they sang along
 A
Spray paint a '20' up on the over pass
 C#m                          B              A
Like a blood pact for the drifters we've become

In the soft burgeoning sun


[Chorus]
E        F#m         A
Runnin' toward the light
B
On the shoulder of a dream
E         F#m       A
I'm singing in my sleep
E        F#m        A
Runnin' toward the light
B
I stagger through the streets
E       F#m      A
I sing it in my sleep


[Bridge]
 B           C#m
This is for Rosa, and Catherine
    B
And Mom and Dad
    A
And this is for Robert, and Jesse
    B
And the Thunderbird staff
    E
I'm going to make you proud of me
    B
I'm going to make you proud of me
    A
I'm going to make you proud of me


[Chorus]
E        F#m         A
Runnin' toward the light
B
On the shoulder of a dream
E         F#m       A
I'm singing in my sleep
E        F#m        A
Runnin' toward the light
B
I stagger through the streets
E       F#m      A
I sing it in my sleep
