Speed Of The Sound Of Lonliness
John Prine

G		                     C
You come home late and you come home early
D				      G
You come home big when you're feeling small
G				         C
You come home straight and you come home curly
D			         G
Sometimes you don't come home at all

CHORUS:
G				    C
So, what in the world has come over you?
D				   G
And what in heaven's name have you done?
G				            C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D					    G
You're out there running just to be on the run

G                                     C
Well, I got a heart that burns with a fever
D                                 G
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
G                              C
How can a love that'll last forever
D                 G
Get left so far behind

CHORUS:
G				    C
So, what in the world has come over you?
D				   G
And what in heaven's name have you done?
G				            C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D					    G
You're out there running just to be on the run

G                                  C
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
D                            G
That's crossed the evil line today
G                       C
How can you ask about tomorrow
D                             G
When we ain't got one word to say

CHORUS:
G				    C
So, what in the world has come over you?
D				   G
And what in heaven's name have you done?
G				            C
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
D					    G
You're out there running just to be on the run
