[Verse]
D                                        Riff
There's a black dog following hard on my trail
D                                      Riff     D Riff
Set firm on hollowing my heart till it fails
            G                                      Bm
Gone nine days sleepless seeking to keep this dog off my tail
D                                               Riff D Riff
Lugged this old bag of bones through seven time zones
G
Oh I'm ten degrees of strange
But I'm trying to change
E                      G
Tryin' to shake off my shadow
      E             G                      D      Riff
Still hoping to get out of the black dog's range


[Chorus] (palm muted)
N.C. G            Bm
So I run 'cause I must
           D          G
Leave that dog in the dust
      G          Bm
Gonna run like a river
      D           G
Right down to the sea
      G            Bm
Gonna run like the sap
            D          G
Through the heart of a tree
  G          Bm
I run 'cause I must
           D          G       Bm     G     D
Leave that dog in the dust


[Verse]
D                                 Riff    D  Riff
You were the pebble and I was the ripple
D                                 Riff    D Riff
You were the puzzle and I was the riddle
Em                                      D  Riff
Together, together, we got lost in the middle


[Bridge]
G                                                Bm
We took signs for wonders. In summer the meteors
G                                              Bm
In winter the thunder, the trees split asunder
G                    Bm
Wherever we wandereeeed
G
Now I'm stormbound on high ground
                   Bm
A jack of the hedge
Em             G
A wreck on the beach
Em                   G                       D     riff
Still trying to stay out of that black dog's reach

G
Some days I long for the grace of an end
Em                 G
Dam up the river, dry out its bed
Em              G
Bury me there, body and head
Em            G           D     riff
Far from the black dog's song


[Chorus] (palm muted)
N.C.  G            Bm
But I run 'cause I must
           D          G
Leave that dog in the dust
      G           Bm
Gonna run like a river
      D           G
Right down to the sea
      G            Bm
Gonna run like the sap
            D          G
Through the heart of a tree
  G            Bm
I run 'cause I must
           D          G
Leave that dog in the dust

N.C.  G            Bm
But I run 'cause I must
           D          G
Leave that dog in the dust
      G           Bm
Gonna run like a river
      D           G
Right down to the sea
      G            Bm
Gonna run like the sap
            D          G
Through the heart of a tree
  G            Bm
I run 'cause I must
           D          G
Leave that dog in the dust
