Running To Stand Still

A                                  D
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I

A                                     D
got to do something about where we're going.

A                      D
Step on a steam train,   step out of the driving rain, maybe

A                                D
run from the darkness in the night, singing

E            G     D
ah, ah la la la de day

E          G     D           A         D
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
from the poison stream, then I floated out of here, singing
ah, ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

D      A     D
oooh, oooh, oooh

A
She runs through the street with her eyes painted red

D
under black belly of cloud in the rain

A
in through the doorway she brings me

D                                                   A
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging

                   D
she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will

E                G    D
suffer the needle chill

E                    G     D    A         D  A  D  A
she's running to stand      still
