As recorded by Elvis Costello & Rusty (From the 2022 EP THE RESURRECTION OF RUST) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Bitterly and I went to the door

C                          G       Am
Hoping cheering on a brief light I know

Am
It never glows

D
Still as long as I walked outside

G
Turning the corner and out of sight

   C                                    G    Am
If I were to be honest, it's really not that bad

                                    D
Do I try to be sad? (Do I try to be sad?)

                                    C G
Break the rules and I might smile tonight
[Chorus]
    D               C         Am
And warm house blows cold out

Bm   C              D
As I step once more for home

                C         Am
Warm house blows cold out

    Bm      C           D C G A C  G
And it's so rare to be alone
[Verse 2]
          D
There's a man out on the floor and he's fallen from blows

          F                C                     G
Well, I'm not even sure if he was just a drunken dreamer

        D
Drunken dreamer

        C
I don't know

Am       Bm     C
Dreaming of the promised land

       D             G
But he doesn't see below

       D
Did he run from his sight to the side of the night

     F                 C
That came into your possession?

     D
As I slip down the street of the shining light

        F                      C
Does my head keep my feet's succession?
[Bridge]
             B7
Is that your last word?

         Em
I do not really

G           B7
Make your reply heard

                 Em            C       G
Will you pray so dearly for an hour of joy?

        D        C        G
And I'm running, running, running

A        D       C        G
Running, running running, running

D                 C        Bm       A        C   G
Running, running, running, running, running away
[Guitar Solo] D C G D C G [Chorus]
    D                      C         Am
And warm house though blows cold out

Bm   C              D
As I step once more for home

                       C         Am
Warm house though blows cold out

    Bm      C    Am  D C G D C  G
And it's so rare to alone
[Refrain]
        D        C        G        A
And I'm running, running, running, running

D        C        G        D
Running, running, running, running

         C        G        D  C    G
Running, running, running, running
[Outro]
  F                     C
I turn my eyes from the sights I see

F                        C
And I need the change to frighten me

        D        C        G        D
And I'm running, running, running, running

         C        G        D
Running, running, running, running

         C        G           C    G
Running, running, running, running

     D               F
In a warm house blows cold out

C                       G
As I step once more for home
