       Strum a measure each of the A and then D chord as shown below  
       Intro: A D A D A D A D 
                   A 
Verse 1:  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 
 
            Option: (Strum once) D 
             She's like no other women 
 
             Option: (Strum once) E 
             That I have ever known before 
 
                   (Strum once) D 
             And it ain't me to see the morning sun 
                   E 
             From this side of the door 
             A                       D                 F#    E 
Chorus:  Why aInt I running, Why aint I gone 
             A                               D                    F#     E 
             How does she hold me Without holding on 
                               D                                 E 
             In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong 
                                       F#                  E             D     
    
             Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong 
                      A     D                             E 
             Its got me wondering,why aint I running 
                               A   D  A   D  
             Why aint I gone 
                A 
Verse 2:  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 
 
                       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 
 
             REPEAT CHORUS 
 
             (ONE MEASURE EACH) 
SOLO:  A     D        A            E 
 
            A     D        A            E 
 
                E                      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 
        
             REPEAT CHORUS
