            Running on Empty - Jackson Browne


[Intro]
|D     |D A     |D      |D A      |D     |D A    |F#m    |F#m    |

|D                      |A/C#                |E          |       |
(I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on)


[Verse 1]
D                   D A                    D           D A
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
D                   D     A               D             D A
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
D                   D A           D             D A
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up 101
D                      A/C#                  E
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on


[Chorus]
         D/A            A
(Running on) Running on empty
         D/A         A
(Running on) Running blind
         D/A                   A                 F#m
(Running on) Running into the sun, but running behind.


[Verse 2]
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on.


[Chorus] 1x


[Intro] (with slide guitar)


[Bridge]

F#m           D     E             A
   Everyone I know,  everywhere I go
F#m                 E           D
   People need some reason to believe
                       A
   I don't know about anyone but me
F#m                D      E               A
   If it takes all night,  that'll be all right
D                     E                   D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E
  If I can get you to smile before I leave


[Verse 3]
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too


[Chorus] 1x


[Verse 4]
D                D     A                 D                 D A
Honey you really tempt me,  You know the way you look so kind
D                     E                      D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
D                     E                      D   C#m    Bm  A    F#m  E
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
D                E                          D   C#m    Bm  A
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.


[Outro]
