[Verse 1]
Db          Ab               Gb
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
            Db            Ab
A blue eyed girl playing in the sand
    Db          Ab             Gb
I'd been on her trail for a little while
                 Db                Ab
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
Gb
  A teenage rush
Bbm
   She said,
Ebm                   Ab
   "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time"
Gb
  But that ain't much

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm         Ab5           Gb5
   We can't wait 'til tomorrow
          Ab5            Bb5
You gotta know that this is real, baby
Gb5       F5
Why you wanna fight it?
         Bb5      C5       Db5   Gb5
It's the one thing  you can   choose, oh

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Db       Ab            Gb
We got engaged on a Friday night
               Db           Ab
I swore on the head of our unborn child
     Db           Ab                Gb
That I could take care of the three of us
              Db            Ab
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
Gb              Bbm
  It's in my blood 
Ebm                       Ab
   He said she might just run away somewhere else
Gb            Bbm
  Someplace good 

[Pre-Chorus]
         Ab5          Gb5
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
          Ab5            Bb5
You gotta know that this is real, baby
Gb5       F5
Why you wanna fight it?
         Bb5      C5       Db5   Gb5
It's the one thing  you can   choose
             Ab5
Let's take a chance, baby, we can't lose
                  Db       Ab
Ain't we all just runaways?

[Chorus]
Gb                        Db
  I knew it when I met you
              Ab       Db    Ab Gb
I'm not gonna let you run awa__y_
I knew it when I held you
Db               Ab
I wasn't letting go

[Bridge]
           Fm                        Bbm
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
          Gb
Hold each other 'til the morning light
   Db                    Bbm
We used to laugh, now we only fight
Ab                     Gb
Baby, are you lonesome now?

[Verse 3]
           Db        Ab            Gb
At night I come home after they go to sleep
                 Db
Like a stumbling ghost,
    Ab
I haunt these halls
          Db         Ab           Gb
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
                Db          Ab                    Gb5
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

[Pre-Chorus]
         Ab5          Gb5
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
                 Ab5       Bb5
Oh, we're caught up in the appeal, baby
Gb5       F5
Why you wanna hide it?
         Ab5       Bb5       Gb5 F5
It's the last thing   on my mind
  Ab5
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive
                  Db       Ab
Ain't we all just runaways?

[Chorus]
Gb                        Db
  I knew it when I met you
              Ab       Db    Ab Gb
I'm not gonna let you run awa__y_
I knew it when I held you
Db               Ab
I wasn't letting go
           Db
Oh, oh, oh,  oh

[Outro]
      Ab          Gb
Ain't we all just runaways?
     Db   Ab   Db   Ab Gb
Yeah,  yeah, runaway__s_
     Db   Ab Ab5 Bb5 Gb5
Yeah,  yeah,
