Straight Outta Time

[D]    [G]    [D]    [G]

Hot summer [D]night, I was counting all the starlight on your [G]skin
Air[D]tight, as I watched you breathing out, I'm breathing [G]in   [C]
By the [D]lake, so humid that the moon was getting [G]wet
For our [D]sake the crickets started playing their casto[G]nets [C]
Like a [D]gypsy, you stole me from a child into a [G]man
It never [D]hit me: I've been running ever since I took a [G]stand [C]

Just [A]swaying in the breeze like a [Em]sweet m[F#]emo[G]ry

Running straight outta [D]time, [C]straight outta [G]time (x2)
Since you were [D]mine     [G]

That autumn chill sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone
And we still had February frozen on the phone
Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue?
Love calls, but do we really live the time we're running through?
Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep
Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep
'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind

Looking back I find like a river it unwinds

Running straight outta time, straight outta time (x2)

Running [A]straight outta time just like an old man's fiddle
Looking for the dance; gonna [G]meet me in the middle
I'm [A]never gonna figure out the way that I feel -
Running [Em]straight outta time,[F#]   [G]  but my love's still [D]real

N[D]ow I see you- you're looking pretty in your sum[G]mer dress

I[D] can almost feel you as you clutch your little lock[G]et to y[C]our breast

L[D]ooking down at the picture, girl, you know you're lo[G]oking fine

I[D]s it me? Was I ever in your heart or on y[G]our mind?

C[D]ause I'm running o[G]utta time

 [D]
I[G]'m running straight outta time
Were you ever mine?
