       A
I can hear that highway calling
      D9                                A           D9
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
           A
This is usually goodbye
               D9                                 A      D9
And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her

       D9
She's like no other woman
             E
That I have ever known before
             D9
And it ain't me to see the morning sun
      E4               E
From this side of the door

             A   D9          F#m  E
Why ain't running, why ain't gone
              A    D9               F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on
              D9                          E
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
                 F#m                    E     D9
Something's not right in there ain't nothing wrong
        F#m    D9                  E
It's got me wondering, why ain't running
              A  A  F#m  E4
Why ain't I gone

            A
All those worlds I left behind me
         D9                            A        D9
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
              A
But if they stood right here beside me
            D9                               A        D9
They would never recognize me for all that she's done

        D9
Once happiness was only
         E
Whenever I was on my own
       D9
So now why do I feel lonely
     E4             E
Any time that I'm alone

             A   D9          F#m  E
Why ain't running, why ain't gone
              A    D9               F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on
              D9                          E
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
                 F#m                    E     D9
Something's not right in there ain't nothing wrong
        F#m    D9                   E
It's got me wondering, why ain't running

F#m D9 A E
F#m D9 A E

             D9
No, they've never built a wall that high
    E
Or made a chain that strong
    D9
And God ain't never made a place
   E4           E
I felt like I belong

             A   D9          F#m  E
Why ain't running, why ain't gone
              A    D9               F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on
              D9                          E
In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong
                 F#m                    E     D9
Something's not right in there ain't nothing wrong
        F#m    D9                  E4
It's got me wondering, why ain't running
E              A  A  F#m  E
  Why ain't I gone
