TITLE: Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Lyrics and Chords


You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
 
/ G - C - / D - G - / G - C - / D - G - /
 
{Refrain}
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
 
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
 
{Refrain}
 
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't got one word to say
 
{Refrain twice}
 
You're out there running just to be on the run
 
/ D - G - /
