Verse
C G F
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind,
F C G
The blue-eyed girl playing in the sand,
C G F
I'd been on her trail for a little while,
F C G Am
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.
Bridge
C
Teenage rush, she said,
Dm7 G
Ain't we all just runaways?
Am C
We got time, but that ain't much,
G F
We can't wait...till tomorrow.
Pre-Chorus
G A
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F C
Why you wanna fight it?
A B C F
It's the one thing you can't choose.
G A F
Oh!
Verse
C G F
We got engaged on a Friday night,
F C G
I swore on the head of our unborn child,
C G F
That I could take care of the three of us,
F C G Am
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild.
Bridge
C
It's in my blood,
Dm7 G
She said she might just runaway
Am C
Somewhere else, some place good,
G F
We can't wait...till tomorrow.
Pre-Chorus
G A
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F C
Why you wanna fight it?
A B C F
It's the one thing you can't choose,
G
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose...
C G F
Ain't we all just runaways?
F C G
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you...
C G F
Runaway!
F C G
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go.
Dm7 Am
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams,
Dm7
Hold each other till the morning light,
Am C
We used to laugh, no we only fight,
G F
Baby, are you lonesome now?
Verse
C G F
That night I come home after they go to sleep,
F C G
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls,
C G F
There's a picture of us on our wedding day,
F C G F
I recognise the girl but I can't settle in these walls,
G F
We can't wait...till tomorrow.
Pre-Chorus
G C
No, we're caught up in the appeal baby,
F
Why you wanna hide it?
C G F
It's the last thing on my mind,
G C F
I turn the engine over and my body just comes...
G
Alive!
C G F
Ain't we all just runaways,
F C G
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you...
C G F
Runaway!
F C G
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go,
C G F
Oh Oh oh oh (Ain't we all just runaways,)
F C G
Ye - E - E - eah!
C G F
Run! (Ain't we all just runaways)
F C G
Ye - E - E - eah!
