F                        Bb 
I've spent my whole life running 'round
F                  Bb
Chasing songs from town to town
F               Am                Bb                     C
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
   Bb     C      F       Bb                F
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
   Bb                Am7
By now I should have long been gone
    Gm              C         A7/C#
But here I am still looking on
   Dm          Bb                F    
As if I didn't know which way to run

As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
