CAPO 1 

Intro:
  
C G F 
F C G (2x) 

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

Bridge
 
        C 
Teenage rush, she said, 
Dm7               G 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
       Am                   C 
We got time, but that ain't much, 
         G             F 
We can't wait...till tomorrow. 

Pre-Chorus 

          G                 A     
You gotta know that this is real baby, 
F             C 
Why you wanna fight it? 
         A   B     C         F  
It's the one thing you can't choose. 
    G A F 
Oh! 

Verse
  
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. 

Bridge
 
           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. 

Pre-Chorus
 
          G       A  
You gotta know that this is real baby, 
F             C 
Why you wanna fight it? 
         A   B     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     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, no we only fight, 
G                      F 
Baby, are you lonesome now? 

Verse
 
             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. 

Pre-Chorus
 
                 G           C 
No, 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! 

 
                  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! 

G A C
