A - nonymous, au - tonomous, -
[] [] []
will likely get the best of us yet
[]
Be - fore you disappear, If you -
[] [] []
can lend me half an ear I ll re - gret
[]
If I treat you like a number, -
[] [] []
it s be - cause I can t remember your name
[]
So have another cigarette, -
[Em11] [/] [theme]
and help me to forget what I came
Chorus:
[] [] []
You run too fast, - fly too high
[] []/ [] []
Run too fast - and fly too high
[]
On dark and lonely nights I m -
[] [] []
only Right when things are bright on the floor
[]
Dancing and romancing, -
[] [] []
Galli - vanting with a handsome I score
[]
And if you don t believe me, you -
[] [] []
should see me when I m ready to roar
[] []
Cause I ll lose my concentration with a new
[/] [theme]
infatuation, I m sure
Chorus:
[] [] []
You run too fast, - fly too high
[] [] []
You run too fast, - fly too high
[] [] []
We got no past, - no good - bye
[] []/ []/
Run too fast - and fly too high

Note: in the chorus, the second Gm-chord can be replaced by a Bb7-chord. Janis
doesn t play it on this occasion, but then it sounds much more like the
studiorecording.
