Dogs On The Run - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 1985 - Southern Accents [INTRO] A E A D (x2) [VERSE 1]
        A         E        A       D
Well we come with what was on our backs

               A          E        A          D
Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black

                 A     E        A          D
Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round

        A         E       A      D
When we laid our blankets on the ground

           F#m
Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry

        D
Lookin' straight into the sun

           F#m
And left a cold night on the ground

       D              E D E D
Like a dog on the run --
[VERSE 2]
           A         E         A    D
I fell overboard and washed up on a beach

        A        E         A    D
Let the waves of sand roll over me

               A             E         A              D
Yeah and I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde

                A                                  E               A          D
I said "honey, I discovered early in life, there's ways of getting anything I want"

     F#m
Yeah some of us are different

          D
It's just something in our blood

           F#m
There's no need for explanations

          D               E D E D                     (A ... into SOLO)
It's just dogs on the run --    It's just dogs on the run
[SOLO] A E A D A E A D E D E D [VERSE 3]
        A         E        A      D
Yes the room was painted blue and gray

        A       E             A      D
All the meals came to me on a silver tray

               A         E            A      D
Yeah she would laugh and light my cigarettes

                 A                          E                 A          D
She said "honey, ain't it funny how a crowd gathers 'round anyone living life without a net"

                 F#m
Yeah and they'll beg you for the answer

         D
It won't never be enough

           F#m
There's no way you could ever tell 'em

          D               E D         E D                      (A)
It's just dogs on the run -- Yes it is, it's just dog's on the run

A E A D
        It's just dogs on the run babe

A E A D
        Just like a dog on the run

       A   E A      D
Like a d-o-g on the run

            A           E A D
Yeah like a dog, like a d-o-g

       A   E A      D
Like a d-o-g on the run... yeah
