Key: Ab major

Verse 1
G G 
 
Four gray walls surround me,
D D 
 
not a  soul to see
C C 
 
Sitting here in this county tower,
D D 
 
G G 
 
lonesome as can be
Waiting trial on Monday,
Em Em 
 
to  pay for what I've done
C C 
 
D D 
 
I  know they'll find me guilty
G G 
 
Hittin' runnin', hittin' and runnin',
hittin' and runnin',
hittin' and I was at a dance
one Friday night
D D 
 
The rain was comin' down
C C 
 
I left the dance about midnight
D D 
 
To drive back into town
G G 
 
The road was wet
Em Em 
 
I couldn't see a fog lay on the ground
C C 
 
When a  little boy jumped
in front of my car,
D D 
 
G G 
 
and there I run him down.
I pulled off of the highway,
D D 
 
my soul all sick with pain,
C C 
 
To see that little boy's figure,
D D 
 
G G 
 
face down in the rain.
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
A chill of fear rushed over me,
D D 
 
at thought of what I'd done.
Em Em 
 
What I've done
C C 
 
I  knew it was an accident
D D 
 
But here lies someone's son
G G 
 
Hidden love, hidden love, hidden love
A picture flashed before my eyes
D D 
 
The outcome I could see
C C 
 
I'd had a  couple of drinks or more
D D 
 
G G 
 
They'd put the blame on me
For it only took a glance to see
Em Em 
 
The awful thing I'd done
C C 
 
But the only thought inside of me
D D 
 
was run, run, run
G G 
 
So I left him there, got in my car
D D 
 
and I raced back into town
C C 
 
Found myself the closest bar
D D 
 
and I tried to drink it down
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
But the TV  shows, the radios,
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
the people I passed by
C C 
 
I kept asking this one question,
D D 
 
G G 
 
what kind of man was I?
Weeks went by
D D 
 
and every night was sleepless misery
C C 
 
I'd close my eyes
D D 
 
G G 
 
and that little boy is all that I could see
So the one thing left to face now
Em Em 
 
was turning myself in
C C 
 
And  face the only outcome
D D 
 
G G 
 
of observing one to ten
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
But I've paid a thousand times or more
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
So I  just hope that time
C C 
 
Will take away this memory
D D 
 
G G 
 
And ease my troubled mind
Stay with love, stay with love,
stay with love, stay with love...
