We know they're right when they say we're not ready
    F              G            Cmaj7
But all we care is how we feel right now
      Em
We'll go ahead just the same
   Am               Dm7-5
Prepare to take the blame
      Dm               D7         G
We'll run away and get married anyhow

     C                                      Cmaj7 C7
They warned us that we can't live on love forever
    F                 G              Cmaj7
But we just tell them we'll get by somehow
    Em
Our problems will be greater
      Am               Dm7-5
We'll worry 'bout them later
      Dm               G7        C    C7
We'll run away and get married anyhow

   F
If other kids went through it
     Fm
Then I know we can do it
       Em                Am7
If our love is that much stronger
        Dm7            G7
It will last that much longer

   C                            Cmaj7     C7
It wasn't too long ago when our folks were
     F                 G                Cmaj7
Were going through the same thing we are now
    Em
But one thing they're forgetting
  Am                  Dm7-5
A thing they're not regretting
     Dm               G7         Bb7
They ran away and got married anyhow
 Am
Anyhow
     Dm               F7         C
They ran away and got married anyhow
