Em  Em   C  C  A7  Am  Em  Em


[Verse 1]
 
 Em                  Em         C7                     C7
A mid November morning, Oh, I'm running down the stairs
A7                 Am7                       Em       Em
Got me going crazy,  Trying to catch up with you…yeah
           Em                   Em             C7                      C7
If you're leaving me for good,… baby,  I won't walk you back this time
            A7                          Am7
You better make up your mind, if you're his or you're mine
          Em                          Em
Won't you treat me like a good girl should
           A               Am7               Em                     Em
You put a spell on me, baby,  ……..Oh, you've turned my body inside out
             A                       Am7
But now the summer's gone,  And the sugar too
  F#7                          B7 *
Oh, I guess the little bird is heading south.. … Hey, hey

[Chorus]

Em           Em                    C7                         C7
Stop running away from my love, Oh runaway girl, what are you running from?
      A7               Am7                             Em             Em
I'm a patient man, but I've had enough, Why don't you, stop running away from my love?

[Interlude]

Em  Em   (Just the drums- funky break)

[Verse 2]

Em                       Em            C7                     C7
Never trust a good thing,  Oh, if it's tasting much too sweet
               A7                  Am7         Em                         Em
That's what my mama used to warn me,  But your love has knocked me to my knees
           A                Am7           Em                    Em
You put a spell on me, baby,  Oh, you've turned my body inside out
             A                   Am7
But now the summer's gone,  The sugar too
F#7                         B7 *
I guess the little bird is heading south.. Hey, hey

[Chorus]

Em             Em                  C7                          C7
Stop running away from my love, Oh runaway girl, what are you running from?
       A7               Am7                           Em              Em
I'm a patient man, but I've had enough, Why don't you, stop running away from my love?


[Bridge]

G                   A
I’m a fool for the change. Baby
Em           Em
 Oh I know someday it's gonna slow down
G              A
Don't let the love go to waste, baby
C                  D
You've got to get ready for the showdown

A                         Am7              Em                     Em
You put a spell on me, now baby,  you've turned my body inside, inside out
             A                      Am7
But now the summer's gone,  and the sugar too
 F#7                            B7             B7 *
Oh, I guess the little bird is heading south…. heading south, now baby

Stop running away from my love, Oh runaway girl, what are you running from?
      A7                Am7                           Em             Em
I'm a patient man, but I've had enough, Why don't you, stop running away from my love?

[Chorus]

Em            Em                   C7                         C7
Stop running away from my love, Oh runaway girl, what are you running from?
      A7                Am7                           Em             Em
I'm a patient man, but I've had enough, Why don't you, stop running away from my love?

Em   Em        C7                        C7
        Don't run away from me, now baby
            A                     Am7
You just a runaway girl, what you running from?
                  Em            Em
    Why don't you, stop running away from my love?

Em  Em   C7 C7  A   Am7  Em  Em
