VERSE 1
AmFG
I stood and watched my Daddy die
AmFEm
No one could help his plight
AmFG
He was trying to save our home
AmFEm
On the day that the river rose
AmFG
It came alive I heard them say
RIFF #1
AmFEmAm
'There was nothing we could do as he washed away'
CHORUS
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the core of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
VERSE 2
AmFG
I'm a man now, but I'm only seven
AmFEm
It's been hard since Daddy went to heaven
AmFG
'We're staying now,' my mother said
Gtr2:RIFF #1
AmFEmAm
'He worked this land his life is here.'
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it

VERSE 3
AmFG
Won't you follow me late at night
AmFEm
To the river when the moon is bright
AmFG
We can wash our sorrows down
AmFEm
Underneath that shining round
AmFG
Sitting in the still night air
AmFEm
Can't you feel our Daddy there
AmFG
There's life and death in all this power
AmFEm
Underneath these shining stars
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart of it
AmFEm
Right into the cause of it
AmFG
Running from the heart...
AmFEm
