    [Dm11]                                                  
A -       nonymous, au - tonomous, - 
     [Em11]                          [Dm11]    [Em11]                   
will       likely get the best of us       yet 
     [Dm11]                                                 
Be -       fore you disappear, If you - 
    [Em11]                              [Dm11]      [Em11]              
can       lend me half an ear I'll re -       gret 
     [Dm11]                                                 
If I       treat you like a number, -
          [Em11]                            [Dm11]      [Em11]          
it's be -       cause I can't remember your       name 
   [Dm11]                                                   
So       have another cigarette, -
    [Em11]                        [/]       [theme]                   
and      help me to forget what I     came 


Chorus:
            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          
You run too     fast, -      fly too        high
        [Gm]      [A7]/                [Dm11]      [Em11]                  
Run too      fast        - and fly too        high 


   [Dm11]                                                   
On        dark and lonely nights I'm - 
     [Em11]                                    [Dm11]      [Em11]       
only       Right when things are bright on the       floor 
[Dm11]                                                       
       Dancing and romancing, - 
        [Em11]                          [Dm11]       [Em11]             
Galli -       vanting with a handsome I       score 
     [Dm11]                                                 
And         if you don't believe me, you - 
       [Em11]                          [Dm11]      [Em11]               
should        see me when I'm ready to       roar 
             [Dm11]                             [Em11]            
'Cause I'll        lose my concentration with a       new 
                 [/]        [theme]                             
infatuation, I'm      sure 


Chorus:
            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          
You run too     fast, -      fly too       high
            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          
You run too     fast, -      fly too       high
          [Gm]         [Gm]           [Dm11]                        
We got no     past,  -       no good -       bye
        [Gm]      [A7]/                [Dm11]/                        
Run too      fast        - and fly too         high

Note: in the chorus, the second Gm-chord can be replaced by a Bb7-chord. Janis 
doesn't play it on this occasion, but then it sounds much more like the 
studiorecording.
