Fm
Back in the city
                 A#
I'm just another girl in a sweater
Fm
Perpetual novice
                G#
Signature on a check made out to you

D#    Cm
Took ten laps 'round the planet
G#
To prove what I wasn't
D#      Cm
And the door slams hard behind you
G#
When you leave the house of judgment

Some kind of reckoning
I waited for the drop, 'cause lately
The yang comes with yin

Fm
Back in the city
                 A#
I'm just another girl in a sweater
Fm
Perpetual novice
               G#
Signature on a check made out to you
Fm
Now there's the sunset
Salt in the wound, yeah
A#
Sometimes I don't know who I'm singing to
Fm
Who is the you who I sing to
         G#
When the house is empty?

Chorus:
             D#
You open the door
               Cm
To another door, to another door
            G#
To another door, to another door
                 D#   Cm    G#
And I'm running through to you
             D#
You open the door
               Cm
To another door, to another door
            G#
To another door, to another door
                  D#   Cm   G#
And I'm running through to you

And we're waking up sore and dizzy
From a ten-year concussion
And the rainfall makes you miss me
Even though you say it doesn't

Back in the city
I'm just another girl in a sweater
Back in the city
Everything's different when we're not together

Chorus

D#
Running, running, running, running
G#
Running, running, running, running

Back in the city
I'm just another girl in a sweater
Perpetual novice
Signature on a check made out to you
Now there's the sunset
Salt in the wound, yeah
Sometimes I don't know who I'm singing to
Who is the you who I sing to
When the house is empty?


Chorus

Running, running, running, running
