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

Note: in the chorus, the second Gm-chord can be replaced by a Bb7-chord. Janis
doesn't play it on this occasion, but then it sounds much more like the
studiorecording.
