Paul Kelly – Love Never Runs On Time (Guitar)

D                    G         D
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.

G                 D              A
Rain was falling, looked like it would for a while.

D              G                     D
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.

G               D                 A
The radio died after the first hundred miles.

G                 D
  I sang all the way to the border

G                  A
  And guess who starred in every rhyme.

D            G           A
You know and I know that love never runs on time.

D                G                 D
I followed that old river 'til the morning.

G               D               A
I stopped, I don't remember the name of the town.

D         G               D
But the colour of the coffee spelled a warning,

G            D                  A
It was the colour of the river but not nearly as brown.

G               D
  The waitress poured me another,

G                     A
  I guess she was the mind-reading kind

D            G           A                   D
You know and I know that love never runs on time.

Bm                        G
   You're lost in the traffic.

          A                      D
I've been asking around, but you haven't been seen.

Bm                         G
   I never thought we were perfect.

A
  Oh, but darling - what we could have been!

D               G              D
The rain came and went all the next day.

G             D               A
I pulled over sometime for a sleep on the side.

D               G                  D
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,

G                D                     A
Hit a big pothole and the radio came alive.

G                   D
  I never heard a love song yet

G                   A
  That I could call yours and mine

D            G           A                   D
You know and I know that love never runs on time.

G                   D
  I never heard a love song yet

G                   A
  That I could call yours and mine.

       D            G           A                   D   G   D
'Cause you know and I know that love never runs on time.
