A - nonymous, au - tonomous, -

will likely get the best of us yet
[Dm11]
Be - fore you disappear, If you -
[Em11] [Dm11] [Em11]
can lend me half an ear I'll re - gret
[Dm11]
If I treat you like a number, -
[Em11] [Dm11] [Em11]
it's be - cause I can't remember your name
[Dm11]
So have another cigarette, -
[Em11] [/] [theme]
and help me to forget what I came
Chorus:
[Gm] [Gm] [Dm11]
You run too fast, - fly too high
[Gm] [A7]/ [Dm11] [Em11]
Run too fast - and fly too high
[Dm11]
On dark and lonely nights I'm -
[Em11] [Dm11] [Em11]
only Right when things are bright on the floor
[Dm11]
Dancing and romancing, -
[Em11] [Dm11] [Em11]
Galli - vanting with a handsome I score
[Dm11]
And if you don't believe me, you -
[Em11] [Dm11] [Em11]
should see me when I'm ready to roar
[Dm11] [Em11]
'Cause I'll lose my concentration with a new
[/] [theme]
infatuation, I'm sure
Chorus:
[Gm] [Gm] [Dm11]
You run too fast, - fly too high
[Gm] [Gm] [Dm11]
You run too fast, - fly too high
[Gm] [Gm] [Dm11]
We got no past, - no good - bye
[Gm] [A7]/ [Dm11]/
Run too fast - and fly too high
