    [Dm11]                                                  

A -       nonymous, au - tonomous, - 

     [Em11]                          [Dm11]    [Em11]                   

will       likely get the best of us       yet 

     [Dm11]                                                 

Be -       fore you disappear, If you - 

    [Em11]                              [Dm11]      [Em11]              

can       lend me half an ear I'll re -       gret 

     [Dm11]                                                 

If I       treat you like a number, -

          [Em11]                            [Dm11]      [Em11]          

it's be -       cause I can't remember your       name 

   [Dm11]                                                   

So       have another cigarette, -

    [Em11]                        [/]       [theme]                   

and      help me to forget what I     came 





Chorus:

            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          

You run too     fast, -      fly too        high

        [Gm]      [A7]/                [Dm11]      [Em11]                  

Run too      fast        - and fly too        high 





   [Dm11]                                                   

On        dark and lonely nights I'm - 

     [Em11]                                    [Dm11]      [Em11]       

only       Right when things are bright on the       floor 

[Dm11]                                                       

       Dancing and romancing, - 

        [Em11]                          [Dm11]       [Em11]             

Galli -       vanting with a handsome I       score 

     [Dm11]                                                 

And         if you don't believe me, you - 

       [Em11]                          [Dm11]      [Em11]               

should        see me when I'm ready to       roar 

             [Dm11]                             [Em11]            

'Cause I'll        lose my concentration with a       new 

                 [/]        [theme]                             

infatuation, I'm      sure 





Chorus:

            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          

You run too     fast, -      fly too       high

            [Gm]        [Gm]        [Dm11]                          

You run too     fast, -      fly too       high

          [Gm]         [Gm]           [Dm11]                        

We got no     past,  -       no good -       bye

        [Gm]      [A7]/                [Dm11]/                        

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.
