| 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, a six-pack and some cigarettes

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



CHORUS1:
Chords:
D  x00232
G  320033
A  x02220


| G              | D
    I sang all the way to the border

| G             | A
    And guess who starred in every rhyme  
 
| D            G         | D          A     | D
  You know and I know that love never runs on time

A  x02220


| 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



CHORUS2:
Chords:
D  x00232
G  320033
A  x02220

| G            | D
    The waitress poured me another

| G                   | A
    I guess she was the mind-reading kind

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



BRIDGE:

| 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

A  x02220


  | 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                            | A
    I hit a big pot-hole and the radio came alive



CHORUS3:
Chords:
D  x00232
G  320033
A  x02220


| G               | D
    I never heard a love song yet

| G                 | A
    That I could call yours and mine

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