A - nonymous, au - tonomous, -
EDEm11
will likely get the best of us yet
Dm11
Be - fore you disappear, If you -
EDEm11
can lend me half an ear I'll re - gret
Dm11
If I treat you like a number, -
EDEm11
it's be - cause I can't remember your name
Dm11
So have another cigarette, -

and help me to forget what I came

Run too fast - and fly too high
Dm11
On dark and lonely nights I'm -
EDEm11
only Right when things are bright on the floor
Dm11
Dancing and romancing, -
EDEm11
Galli - vanting with a handsome I score
Dm11
And if you don't believe me, you -
EDEm11
should see me when I'm ready to roar
DEm11
'Cause I'll lose my concentration with a new

infatuation, I'm sure
Chorus:

You run too fast, - fly too high
GGDm11
We got no past, - no good - bye

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.
