B                                E
Are you gonna ride for no one at all?
                     B
Hey, are you gonna cry on demand
                         E
just to get your number called?
                  B
Oh, baby, I know gone
I know gone, know out of this world
              E
'Cause I've slept in my bed alone next to my girl
    G#m
So, do what you want,
                       E
just don't go dark on me, hey

Chorus:
            B
'Cause you run, run, run
Run with the wild
           E
Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child
 B                                       E
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
            B
And you're waitin' to be saved but
ain't nobody comin'
          E
It's the same party trick
You dream until you're running
G#m                                      E
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
                           B
Oh, just don't go dark on me
Run, run, run
                 E
Run with the wild
           G#m
You always run, run, run
                 E
Run with the wild

I dream a little dream, she's not out of it
Then I watch her take another
pill, take another pic, then flip another switch
And now she's gone, now she's
gone, now she's out of this world
It's like California dreamin'
got the best of my girl
So do what you want, just take
your sights off of me, yeah, hey, hey

Chorus:
'Cause you run, run, run, run with the wild
Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
And you're waitin' to be saved, but
ain't nobody comin'
If you're holdin' on to me, you're holdin'
on to nothing
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
Well, just don't go dark on me

Run, run, run, run with the wild
You always run, run, run, run with the wild

You know all this time we've been apart
                  G#m
I finally see it, honey
                                     E
You've just been waiting your whole life
                                      G#m
To find someone who can stand in your storm
I stood there and something was missing
         E
I still see you, honey babe
But it ain't me that you'll be kissin'

Chorus:
'Cause you run, run, run, run with the devil
Then you cry on my shoulder like I'm forever
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
And you keep playin' to that chip,
chip on your shoulder
Yeah, you carry that around,
it's like tryin' to get to nowhere
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
Well, just don't go dark on me

Run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
Oh, so you just don't go dark on me
So you just don't go dark on me
Just don't go dark on me, baby
