(Intro.)
(None)

(Verse)
(Bm)Running back, num-(D)ber 49
(Bm)You had me from the (A)sidelines
And (Bm)in the back of a (D) Pontiac
(Bm)Something ‘bout that (A) first time (D)
That (Bm)puts your walls up (A)when it don’t work out
You’re (Bm)still holding on (A)to it years from now
(G)I bet you probably (D)put my memory (Bm)in the ground (A)

(Chorus)
And I’ve (G)had a few some-(D)body new’s
(Bm)Thought about (A)forever too
But I (G)run away (D)when it gets close to that (Bm) (A)
And ‘cause no (G)matter how far (D) down the road
The (Bm)crazy thing (A)is I know
If you (G)called and said (D)you’re missin’ what we had (Bm)
(A) I’d come running back

(Solo)
|(G) / (D) / |(Bm) / (A) / |

(Verse)
(G)Running back, (D) to 18
Wonder if (Bm) that’s how (A)you remember me
So (G) dumb, (D) so free
(Bm)Yeah, sometimes I (A) daydream
About (G)running back into (D)you hometown Kroger
(Bm)Would it still feel (A) likе it did?
Just (G)'cause we grew up (D)don’t mеan we got closure
(Bm) Ever since, (A) ever since

(Chorus)
I’ve (G)had a few (D) somebody new’s
(Bm)Thought about (A)forever too
But I (G)run away (D)when it gets close to that (Bm) (A)
Because no matter (G) how far (D) down the road
The (Bm)crazy thing (G)is I know
If you (G)called and said (D)you’re missin’ what we had (Bm)
(A) I’d come running back

(Verse)
(G)To the car, black (D) ice on the rearview
(Bm)Climb in your lap (A)driving home like we used to
(G)Honestly all (D)you’d need to (Bm)do is (A)ask
And I’d come running back (G) (D) (Bm)
Yeah, I’d come running back (G) (D) (Bm)
Oh, oh, (Bm) oh, oh (A)

(Chorus)
And I’ve had (G)a few (D)somebody new’s
(Bm)Thought about (A)forever too
But I (G)run away (D)when it gets close to (Bm)that (A)
Beause no matter (G) how far (D)down the road
The (Bm)crazy thing (A)is I know
If you called (G) and said (D)you’re missin’ what we had (Bm) (A)
I’d come running back (G) (D) (Bm) (A)
Yeah, I’d come running back (G) (D) (Bm) (A)

(Outro.)
(G)Running back, number 49
You had me from the sidelines - - - - -
