Runnin Toward The Light Chords by Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties
[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
