Why Ain't I Running (with Lead Tabs)

• A

Parts of this solo or "break" since it's not much 
are played with a slide I believe, but it sounds 
fine without one. I try to get the outro one of these 
days. 
 
 
1st Verse:  
 
       A 
I can hear that highway calling 
       D                                             A 
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder 
            A 
This is usually goodbye 
                D                                       A 
And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her 
       D 
She's like no other woman 
              E 
That I have ever known before 
              D 
And it ain't me to see the morning sun 
      E 
From this side of the door 

 
               A    D               F#m E 
Why Ain't I running, Why Ain't I gone 
               A    D                 F#m E 
How Does she hold me without holding on 
              D *Lick 1                       E 
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong 
                  F#m                         D 
Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong 
           A   D                       E 
It's got me wondering, why ain't I running 
             A     A D A D 
Why Ain't I Gone 
 
 
2nd Verse:  
 
            A 
All those worlds I left behind me  
          D                                 A 
Praying they would never find me and my freedom 
               A 
But if they stood right here beside me  
                    D                              A 
They would never recognize me for all that she's done 
         D 
Once happiness was only 
          E  
Whenever I was on my own 
         D 
So now why do I feel lonely 
     E 
Anytime that I'm alone 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo A D A E A D A E 
 
            D 
No they've never built a wall that high  
     E 
Or made a chain that strong 
      D 
And God ain't never made a place 
    E 
I felt like I belong 
 
 
Chorus 
 
*Lick 1 
This lick is played in the chorus (In love or in fight...) 
   D      E     F#m    D 
 
Solo
