Running to Me

As in don't... Country soft-rock?

Another song that could have gone straight pop but developed a country feel.

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018

ROR 16 (Don’t Come) Running To Me bpm 90 double time

chorus
|D C |C D |D C |C D |
|A G | A G |Em G |A |

When your world comes falling down don’t come running to me
When you lose that shiny crown wait that’s when you’ll see
I gave you all I had and you threw it all away
So I’m just waiting for the time you pay

verse
|Bm |A | Bm |A |
|Em A |Em A |F#mBm|G A |

I was just a simple guy you might say naive
I had the wish to try and you made me believe
I told you your fortune you made it come true
I saw all it brought you, but what became of you

You lived for the future I lived in the past
How could I hope to suit you how could it ever last
Though we were together you were rarely there
Never asking whether always asking where

I thought I’d always love you perhaps you thought the same
Some dreams can never come true, some schemes are just a game
But once you’d finally left me I felt a sudden change
Calm and not bereft, my thoughts got rearranged
