Runaways - The Killers

*Capo 1st fret


*Intro: C G F - F C G x2

 C           G              F
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
 F         C           G
Blue eyed girl playing in the sand
      C           G            F
I've been on the trail for a little while
     F            C              G                      F
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand

         Am
Teenage rush
         Dm
She said
                   G
Ain't we all just runaways?
        F                  Am
We got time and that ain't much

          G            F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
          Am                 G
You gotta know that this is real
       F
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         Am         C         F
It's the one thing you can't choose
   G Am F
Oh!

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                        F
But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild

            Am
It's in my blood
Dm                          G
  You said she might just runaway
           F              Am
Somewhere else, someplace good


          G           F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
          Am                 G
You gotta know that this is real
       F
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         Am         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
I knew it when I met you
C              G       C   G   F
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                  F
I knew it when I held you
   C             G
I wasn't letting go

            Em                       Am
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
           F
Hold each other 'till the morning light
    C                     Am
We used to laugh, now we only fight
 G                    F
Baby are you lonesome now?

            C         G         F
At night I come home after they go to sleep
         F         C       G               
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt this hall
            C        G           F
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
        F        C          G                     F
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

          G          F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
          Am                G
No we're caught up in the appeal
       F
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
          Am        C      F
It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?)
   G
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive 

                  C   G    F
Ain't we all just runaways?
                 F
I knew it when I met you
C              G       C  G   F
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                  F
I knew it when I held you
   C             G
I wasn't letting go

                  C   G    F
Ain't we all just runaways?
F  C G   C   G   F
Yeeeaah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?)
F  C G 
Yeeeaah
