h       Hammer-on

Did you cry when they dragged you home
Put a lock on the door and the telephone
Was a runaway girl all they could see 
Have the nights and the days that you've come through 
Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true 
Was a runaway girl all they could see 
A teenage extra from the satellite TV 

Runaway girl
Too bad, too bad 
Runaway girl
Too wild, too wild

Verse (as before)
=====
Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies 
Maybe they didn't dare to ask you why 
Was a runaway girl all they chose to see
All they were prepared to admit to 

Runaway girl
Too bad, too bad
Runaway girl
A real wild child

Post Solo Part
==============
*** I haven't tabbed the guitar for this part but might do in the future***

So you cower in the towns forgotten places 
And you make your bed with unfamiliar faces
And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got 
You're tryin' to make your mind up if you're better off 

You pretend to wait for washing in some laundromat 
But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going back 
You'd freeze to death before you'd share a roof with them 
And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again

Did you cry when they dragged you home 
Did you cry when they dragged you home 
Poor little runaway, poor little runaway
