Why Ain't I Running (with Lead Tabs)

Garth Brooks

Parts of this solo or "break" since it's not much are played with a slide I believe, but it sounds fine without one. I try to get the outro one of these days. 1st Verse: I can hear that highway calling As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder This is usually goodbye And yet those words I just can't find here as I hold her She's like no other woman That I have ever known before And it ain't me to see the morning sun From this side of the door Why Ain't I running, Why Ain't I gone How Does she hold me without holding on In love or a fight, she's stronger than strong Something's not right if there ain't nothing wrong It's got me wondering, why ain't I running Why Ain't I Gone 2nd Verse: All those worlds I left behind me Praying they would never find me and my freedom But if they stood right here beside me They would never recognize me for all that she's done Once happiness was only Whenever I was on my own So now why do I feel lonely Anytime that I'm alone Chorus Solo No they've never built a wall that high Or made a chain that strong And God ain't never made a place I felt like I belong Chorus *Lick 1 This lick is played in the chorus (In love or in fight...)
