[Intro]
G G C C D D G G
[Verse 1]
G G C C
You come home late and you come home early
D D G G
You come on big when you're feeling small
G G C C
You come home straight and you come home curly
D D G G
Sometimes you don't come home at all
[Chorus]
G G C C
So what in the world's come over you
D D G G
And what in heaven's name have I done
G G C C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D D G G
You're out there running just to be on the run
[Verse 2]
G G C C
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
D D G G
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
G G C C
How can a love that'll last forever
D D G G
Get left so far behind
[Chorus]
G G C C
So what in the world's come over you
D D G G
And what in heaven's name have I done
G G C C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run
[Instrumental]
(same chords as one verse)
[Verse 3]
G G C C
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
D D G G
It's crossed the evil line today
G G C C
How can you ask about tomorrow
D D G G
When we ain't got one word to say
[Chorus]
G G C C
So what in the world's come over you
D D G G
And what in heaven's name have I done
G G C C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D D G G
You're out there running just to be on the run
[Chorus]
G G C C
So what in the world's come over you
D D G G
And what in heaven's name have I done

You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness

You're out there running just to be on the run
