 Intro:     C     G     Em     D


       G
 The phone is off the hook and Jimmy's got a gun
                                                   Em        D
 Sherry's in the river and the river's gonna run again,    Yeah
         G
 So you don't know where to go, you don't know where to hide
                                                  Em     D
 Holding all your tears, keeping all your pain inside
            G
 With your back against the wall, heart falling from your hand
                                                         Em       D
 you throw it in the river, the river's gonna' hand it again,    Yeah

      C       G    Em    D
 But you are not alone
       C          G       Em    D
 When you're not safe at home


             C
 And you're running back

 Running back

 While you're on track
  G
 Looking for a home

 For a house to call your own
Em
 You need a phone

 You feel all alone
              D
 Don't know where to start

 While you're falling apart
          C
 And you need someone to hold

 Your hands are cold
      G
 You feel a little older
                     Em
 you need a shoulder
             D    C     G     Em     D
 but you're not alone


  G
 What they will believe and if you wanna change
                                                   Em    D
 How it's meant to be even if they think you're strange
          G
 Oh, you wanna live a life, you need to break away
                                                  Em     D
 Counting on your hands the days you have left today

      C       G    Em    D
 But you are not alone
       C          G       Em    D
 When you're not safe at home

 C    G    Em    D


             C
 And you're running back

 Running back

 While you're on track
  G
 Looking for a home

 For a house to call your own
Em
 You need a phone

 You feel all alone
              D
 Don't know where to start

 While you're falling apart
          C
 And you need someone to hold

 Your hands are cold
      G
 You feel a little older
                     Em
 you need a shoulder
             D    C     
 but you're not alone


 C    G    Em    D    x3


             C
 And you're running back

 Running back

 While you're on track
  G
 Looking for a home

 For a house to call your own
Em
 You need a phone

 You feel all alone
              D
 Don't know where to start

 While you're falling apart
          C
 And you need someone to hold

 Your hands are cold
      G
 You feel a little older
                     Em
 you need a shoulder
             D    C     
 but you're not alone
