  INTRO

  C#  G#   F#         C#   G# x2


  VERSE I

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


  VERSE II

         A#m
Teenage rush, she said
D#m                 G#
 "Ain't we all just runaways?"
        F#m                 A#m
We got time but that ain't much
         G#          F#
We can't wait 'til tomorrow


  PRE-CHORUS

          G#                A#m
You gotta know that this is real
      F#            C#
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         A#m                 F#          
It's the one thing you can't choose 
   G#5 A#5 F#
Oh!


  VERSE III

G#5     A#5         F#5
We got engaged on a friday night
             C#5           G#5
I swore on the head of our unborn child
C#5              G#5          F#5
That I could take care of the three of us
               C#5         G#5                      F#5
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights gets wild


  VERSE IV

           A#5
It's in my blood
D#5                       G#5
  She said she might just runaway
          F#5              A#5
Somewhere else, some place good
         G#          F#
We can't wait 'til tomorrow


  PRE-CHORUS

          G#                A#m
You gotta know that this is real
      F#            C#
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         A#m                 F#          
It's the one thing you can't choose 
             G#
Let's take a chance

Baby, we can't lose


  CHORUS

                  C#      G#  F#
Ain't we all just runaways?

I knew it when I met you
C#            G#          C#  G#  F#
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                        C#             G#
I knew it when I held I wasn't lettin' go


 VERSE V

           Fm
We used to look at the stars 
       A#m
And confess our dreams
          F#
Hold each other 'til the morning light

   C#                    A#m
We used to laugh, now we only fight
G#                     F#
Baby, are you lonesome now?


  VERSE VI

               C#        G#         F#
And at night I come home after they go to sleep
                 C#      G#
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls
          C#         G#        F#
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
                 C#         G#                    F#5
I recognize that girl but I can't settle in these walls
         G#          F#
We can't wait 'til tomorrow


  PRE-CHORUS

          G#                A#m
Now we're caught up in the appeal
      F#            C#
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
         A#m              F#  
It's the last thing on my mind
  G#
I turn the engine over and  my body just comes alive!


  CHORUS

                  C#      G#  F#
Ain't we all just runaways?

I knew it when I met you
C#            G#          C#  G#  F#
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                        C#             G#
I knew it when I held I wasn't lettin' go, oh, oh, oh, oh!
C#         G#       F#
  Ain't we all just runaways
  C#  G#
Yeah, runaways!
C#         G#       F#
  Ain't we all just runaways
  C#  G#5 A#5 F#
Yeah!
