Intro C 
 

[Verso 1]

C                               G 
Runnin' every light that came upon them 
      Am                                    F 
They headed toward the place where he'd be born 
C                                G 
Given all the names that came before him 
 Am                           F 
Destined for a life of being torn 
 

[Refrão]

         C 
So with everything inside 
     E7 
He stared out to the light 
              Am 
And held his hands against the walls of time 
         F 
Through barely opened eyes 

And yelled out 
C               G 
Though you may want me 
                 C  E7  F 
I ain't ready to go 


[Verso 2]

C                               G 
Runnin' every light that came upon them 
 Am                                F 
Booze and cheap tattoos along the way 
C                      G 
Always staying on the wanted list 
        Am                              F 
Or just in with a bad crowd some would say 
 

[Refrão]

      C 
With everything inside 
     E7 
He stared onto the night 
              Am 
And roared we all will live forever 
 F 
Never be told time 
       C                  G 
Even though they may not want me 
                 C  E7  F 
I ain't ready to go 


[Verso 3]

C                                G 
 Runnin' every light that came upon them 
     Am                                        F 
He proved his love with the pedal down to the floor 

(Proved his love with the pedal down to the floor) 
C                              G 
 And though she knew he was a wanted man
Am                               F 
   And always dreamed of having more 



[Refrão]

      C 
With everything inside 
    E7 
He looked into her eyes 
             Am 
And then he swore that it would all work out 
F 
Til the end of time 
                C 
Then promised though 
             G 
You may not want me 
                 C  E7 F 
I ain't ready to go 

( C  G  Am  F ) 
( C  G  Am  F ) 
( C  G  C ) 


[Verso 4]

C                                G 
 Runnin' every light that came upon them 
Am 
Never seen it comin' 
           F 
Though he did 
C                             G 
 Facing the names that came before him 
        Am                               F 
Deep within the darkness where he often hid 


[Refrão]

     C 
With everything inside 
     E7 
He stared up to the sky 
                 Am 
And searched for any sign of Heaven 
        F 
With a teardrop in his eye 

And whispered 
C               G 
Though you may want me 
Am              F 
Though you may want me 
       C             G 
Even though you may want me 
                 C  E7  F 
I ain't ready to go 
                 C  E7  F  C 
I ain't ready to go
