J.D. Souther    Run Like A Thief       written by  J.D. Souther

E   G#m  A   B

E                      G#m          A
Then it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three
     E                                  B  A  G#m F#m
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire
        E                  G#m              A
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me
       E         B       A           B
Oh how sweet the wine of desire
       E            G#m        A        B     E
Well I cheated on a friend and cheaters never win
       C#m                F#             B     A   G#m  F#m
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief
        E            G#m
I could never be the one to say
     A
Your best friend took you down
      E          C#m   E                    C#m
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
      E          B            A          B
Gonna run in the night like a thief

E  G#m A  B

         E            G#m        A
Ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see
     E                                     B  A  G#m  F#m
He's coming back and I know just what I'll do
      E                       G#m            A
If it comes right down to you leaving him or staying here with me
       E            B      A      B7
Oh how sweet the memory of you
       E            G#m           A          B      E   C#m F# B
Well I cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again
        E            G#m
I could never be the one to say
     A
Your best friend took you down
      E          C#m   E                    C#m
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
      E          B            A         D
Gonna run in the night like a thief
       A            F#m   A                    F#m
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light
      A          E            D    E
Gonna run in the night like a thief

J.D. Souther      Go Ahead And Rain       written by J.D. Souther

A            F#m        D            E
I don't know how you go on with your sorrows
A            F#m         D    E
Weighing you down like a stone
A            F#m       D            E         A     F#m       D  E
I don't know how I can sit here and give you advice dying for home
A         D              B7         E         C#7    F#m      Bm   E
You could be the girl I'm searching for but I hardly know your name
A   F#m           D       E   A
Ooh why don't you love me anyway
           F#m          D                E
 Won't you do what your little heart is  trying to say
F#m A   D            E       A
Baby    go ahead and rain on me
A                F#m         D        E
See I don't know why we keep standing around here
     A          F#m          D  E
Like little boy lost and his girl
        A            F#m      D             E
But you won't let me in and I can't say goodnight
          A    F#m        D    E
And just drive away in my world
A                D       B7     E          C#7      F#m     Bm  E
Cause you're the face I always see  when I close my eyes at night
A   F#m           D       E   A
Ooh why don't you love me anyway
          F#m          D                E
Won't you do what your little heart is  trying to say
F#m A   D            E       A   F#m  D  E
Baby    go ahead and rain on me
          A       D                B7         E
You know this old world would keep spinning around
          C#7   F#m      Bm  E
Without a lucky guy like me
A   F#m           D       E   A
Ooh why don't you love me anyway
          F#m          D                E
Won't you do what your little heart is  trying to say
F#m A   D            E       A   F#m  D  E
Baby    go ahead and rain on me
      A  F#m D                E
Cause maybe things will never be the same
F#m A   D            E       A   F#m  D  E  A
Baby    go ahead and rain on me

J.D. Souther     Simple Man Simple Dream        written by  J.D.
Souther

G         C       D          G
What if I fell in love with you
          C      D       G
Just like normal people do
     C         G           Am    D      G
Well maybe I'd kill you or maybe I'd be true
G         C             D          G
When I go down to get a job sometimes
         C          D       G
It seems people can read my mind
            C           G                 Am      D         G
And make my money disappear while they're talking sweet and kind
        C    G        C      G     C         G        C         G
Well in some ways I'm like a child you never seem  to know it
         C    G         C            G
And if a kind word ever crossed your mind
Em        D        G
You never tried to show it
G           C          D        G
When people don't know what you mean
         C                D        G
They may laugh at you and call you green
                 C         G
They'll say your words are stupid
         Am        D    G
And your plans are only schemes
C        G          C           Em
Truth is simple but seldom ever seen
D                C        D                 C        D    G
Let nothing come between  simple man simple dream
