Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
Verse 1
Hot summer (D major) night,
I was counting all the starlight on your (G major) skin
Air (D major) tight, as I watched you breathing out,
I'm breathing (G major) in (C major)
By the (D major) lake, so humid that the
moon was getting (G major) wet
For our (D major) sake the crickets started
playing their castanet (G major) s (C major)
Like a (D major) gypsy,
you stole me from a child into a (G major) man
It never (D major) hit me: I've been running
ever since I took a (G major) stand (C major)
Find this (D major) love like Spanish moss
hangin from the (G major) trees
Just (A major) swaying in the breeze
like a (E minor) sweet memory
(G major) Running

Verse 2
(D major) (C major) straight outta time, (G major)
(D major) straight (C major) outta time (G major) (x2) Since you were (D major) mine (G major)
That autumn (D major) chill sent a shiver, girl,
it shook us to the (G major) bone
And we (D major) still had February
frozen on the (G major) phone (C major)
Spring (D major) thaw,
would it find us with our lips frozen (G major) blue?
(D major) Love calls, but do we really live the
time we're running (G major) through? (C major)
Or like a (D major) dream,
do we let it die and drift away to (G major) sleep
Until it (D major) screams like an echo in the
history books you (G major) keep (C major)
'Cause that (D major) stream running from
the corners of my (G major) mind
Looking (A major) back I find like a
(E minor) river it unwind (G major) s
Running straight outta time, (D major)
(C major) straight outta time (G major) (x2)
Verse 3
(D major) Running (C major) straight outta time (G major) (A major) just like
an old man's fiddle
Looking for the dance; gonna
(G major) meet me in the (D major) middle
I'm (A major) never gonna figure out
the way that I feel -
Running (E minor) straight outta time, (G major)
Interlude 1
but my love's still real
(D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) Now I
Verse 4
(D major) see you- you're looking
pretty in your summer (G major) dress
I (D major) can almost feel you as you clutch
your little locket to your (G major) breast
(C major) Looking (D major) down at the picture,
girl, you know you're looking (G major) fine
Is it (D major) me? Was I ever in your heart
or on your (G major) mind?
Cause I'm running (D major) outta time (G major)
I'm (D major) running straight outta time (G major)
Were you ever mine?
