The Running Kind(Chords)

	        (intro) D

1. I was born the running kind with leaving always on my mind, 
                                                        G 
    home was never home to me at anytime, 
                A                             A7                   A                           A7 
    every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open, 
                     A                  A7                           D 
    there just had to be an exit for the running kind.

2. Within me there's a prison surrounding me alone, 
                                                        G 
    as real as any dungeon with its walls of stone, 
                 A                        A7            A                                      A7 
    I know running's not the answer, though, running's been my nature, 
                A                       A7                       D 
    and a thing in me that keeps me moving on.

3. I was born the running kind with leaving always on my mind, 
                                                        G 
    home was never home to me at anytime, 
                A                             A7                   A                            A7 
    every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open, 
                     A                  A7              D 
    there just had to be an exit for the running kind.
