C                                                     F
Contessa, Contessa, oh please leave your hat by the door
C                                                    F
Well, I thought I told you you couldn't call round anymore
C                                                             F
And outside in the street and the rains turning tricks on the day
C                                             F
Contessa, I've told you so why do you come anyway?


C                                                    F
Well, ten years ago by the motorway bridge with a smile
C                                                         F
And your red lacquer shoes, oh you lived inside me for a while
C                                                       F
I had an old cow bone that I used to draw hearts in the dust
C                                                      F
Contessa please tell me just what the hell happened to us


            G
'Cause I've gone
      F          C
Gone run that road
     G
I've gone
    F           C
Gone run that road
        G        F        C
Run that road home


C                                                            F
I was a scared little kid with a head full of hormones and holes
C                                                   F
With one eye on atonement and a body already grown old
C                                                             F
There you were with your secrets and your notebook of genuine lies
        C                                               F
Saying “girl its your party but you sure as hell don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry


     G
I've gone
    F          C
Gone run that road
     G
I've gone
    F           C
Gone run that road
        G       F      C
Run that road home

Yeah, run that road home


C                                                   F
So I was the black sheep, yeah, I was the lone cavalier
C                                                    F
But with a face like stone, oh Connie its lonely out here
C                                                        F
I've taken some pills and I've played with the hand I was dealt
C                                                          F
And you saved me that time but now I've learned to save myself


         G
And I've gone
     F        C
Gone run that road
     G
I've gone
       F         C
Gone run that road

Run that road home

Oh, run that road home

Yeah, run that, run that, rung that, run that, road home

Yeah, run that road home
