       F C G (2x)

Verso 1:
C           G             F
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind,
    F         C            G
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand,
    C           G           F
I?ve been on her trail for a little while,
    F            C              G                      Am
And that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.

Ponte:
        C
Teenage rush, she said,
Dm7               G
Can?t we all just runaway?
       Am                   C
Cuz we got time, but that ain?t much,
         G            F
We can?t wait 'till tomorrow.

Pr?-Refr?o:
          G                 A
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F             C
Why you wanna fight it?
         Ab  Bb    B         F
It?s the one thing you can?t do.
    G A F
Oh!

Verso 2:
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.

Ponte:
           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.

Pr?-Refr?o:
          G                  A
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F             C
Why you wanna fight it?
         Ab  Bb    B         F
It?s the one thing you can?t do,
             G
Let?s take a chance baby we can?t lose

Refr?o:
                  C   G   F
Here we are, 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, now we only fight,
G                      F
Baby, are you lonesome now?

Verso 3:
             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.

Pr?-Refr?o:
                 G           C
Now 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!

Refr?o:
                  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!
