D                    G         D
I pulled out of the suburbs by sunset.
 
G                 D              
Rain was falling, looked like it 


would for a while.
 
D              G                     D
I had a radio, six-pack and some cigarettes.
 
G               D                 A
The radio died after the first hundred miles.
 
 
G               D
I sang all the way to the border
 
G                 A
And guess who starred in every rhyme.
 
D              G                A
Ah you know and I know that love 

never runs on time.

D                G                 D
I followed that old river 'til the morning.
 
G               D           
I stopped, I don't remember 
    A
the name of the town.
 
D         G               D
But the colour of the coffee 

was a warning,
 
G            D                 
It was the colour of the river 

 A
but not nearly as brown.
 
G              D
 The waitress poured me another,
 
 G                A
I guess she was the mind-reading kind
 
D           G                A
You know and I know that love 

               D
never runs on time.
 
 
 
 
Bm                 G
You're lost in the traffic.
 
A                        
I’ve been asking around, 
D
but you haven't been seen.
 
Bm                       G
I never thought we were perfect.
 
A
Oh but darling - what we could have been!

D               G              D
The rain came and went all the next day.
 
G             D        
I pulled over sometime 
       A
for a sleep on the side.
 
D               G                  D
Then I gunned it back out on the highway,
 
G                 D    
Hit a big pot-hole and 

                 A
the radio came alive.
 
G                    D
I never heard a love song yet
 
G                  A
That I could call yours and mine
 
D                    G     
'Cause you know and I know 
        A              D
that love never runs on time.
 
 
(instrumental)
 
G                       D
I never heard a love song yet
 
G                         A
That I could call yours and mine.
 
D                   
'Cause you know and 
     G                          A    D
I know that love never runs on time.
