[Verse]
       A
I can hear that highway calling

      D                                A           D
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder

           A
This is usually goodbye

               D                                 A      D
And yet those words I just can?t find here as I hold her
[Bridge 1]
       D
She?s like no other woman

             E
That I have ever known before

             D
And it ain?t me to see the morning sun

      E               E
From this side of the door
[Chorus]
             A   D          F#m  E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone

              A    D              F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on

              D                          E
In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong

                 F#m                    E     D
Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong

        F#m    D                  E
It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running

              A  A  F#m  E
Why ain?t I gone
[Verse]
            A
All those worlds I left behind me

         D                           A        D
Praying they would never find me and my freedom

              A
But if they stood right here beside me

            D                               A        D
They would never recognize me for all that she?s done
[Bridge 2]
        D
Once happiness was only

         E
Whenever I was on my own

       D
So now why do I feel lonely

                 E
Any time that I?m alone
[Chorus]
             A   D          F#m  E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone

              A    D               F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on

              D                          E
In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong

                 F#m                    E     D
Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong

        F#m    D                   E
It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running
F#m D A E F#m D A E [Bridge 3]
             D
No, they?ve never built a wall that high

    E
Or made a chain that strong

    D
And God ain?t never made a place

              E
I felt like I belong
[Chorus]
             A   D          F#m  E
Why ain?t running, why ain?t gone

              A    D              F#m  E
How does she hold me without holding on

              D                          E
In love or a fight, she?s stronger than strong

                 F#m                    E     D
Something?s not right in there ain?t nothing wrong

        F#m    D                  E
It?s got me wondering, why ain?t running

E              A  A  F#m  E
  Why ain?t I gone
