Running To Stand Still

D                                G
And so she woke up, woke up from where she was lying still, said I
D                         G
got to do something about where we're going.
D                       G
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain, maybe
D                             G              A
run from the darkness in the night, singing  ah,
         C      G     A
ah la la la de day
         C      G         D          Dsus4  D     G
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day

Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
D G
I see seven towers, but I only see, one way out.
            D
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking,
  G                       D 
scream without raising your voice, you know I took the poison,
   G                           A
from the poison stream, then I floated, out of here, singing
         C      G   A
ah la la la de day
         C      G         D          Dsus4  D
ah la la la de day, ah la la de day
 
 G     D     G
oooh, oooh, oooh
 
D
She runs through the street with her eyes painted red
G
under black belly of cloud in the rain
D
in through the doorway she brings me
G                     D
white gold and pearls, stolen from the sea, she is raging
                        G
she is raging, and the storm blows up in her eyes, she will
A              C      G
  suffer the needle chill
A                    C  G   D     Dsus4  D
  she's running to stand  still.
 
G     D     G     D
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
