Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G C D G x2
[Verse 1]
G C
You come home late and you come home early
D G
You come on big when you're feeling small
G C
You come home straight and you come home curly
D G
Sometimes you don't come home at all
[Chorus]
G C
So what in the world's come over you
D G
And what in heaven's name have you done
G7 C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D G
You're out there running just to be on the run
[Verse 2]
G7 C
Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
D G
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
G C
Well, how can a love that'll last forever
D G
Get left so far behind
[Chorus]
G7 C
What in the world's come over you
D G
And what in heaven's name have you done

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D G
You're out there running just to be on the run
[Instrumental]

G7 C D G
[Verse 3]
G7 C
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
D G
It's crossed the evil line today
G C
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
D G
When we ain't got one word to say
[Chorus]
G C
So what in the world's come over you
D G
And what in heaven's name have you done
G7 C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D G
You're out there running just to be on the run
D G
You're out there running just to be on the run
D G C/G G
You're out there running just to be on the run

You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
So what in the world's come over you?
And what in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
What in the world's come over you?
And what in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say
So what in the world's come over you?
And what in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
