Capo: II
[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A E
Well aren't we all grown up
A F#m E D
We were only children, but who knew it then?
D A F#m E
Lovers before we knew anything more
D A E D
For each lesson in tenderness, learned on the floor
[Chorus]
E D C#m D
There was one about twisting my words, to console you
F#m D E
One about hiding the black and blue
D A C#m D
And one about leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
[Verse 2]
A E
The rain took me by surprise
A F#m E D
Though I'd heard a wild storm was coming that night
D A F#m E
I've learned to ignore these predictions alright
D A E D
Well partly it's stubbornness, some of it's spite
[Chorus]
E D C#m D
But mostly it's twisting my words to console you
F#m D E
Mostly it's hiding the black and blue
D A C#m D
And always it's leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
[Instrumental]
A E A A F# E D A
[Verse 3]
A E
Now you think you're here to stay, it's like that joke
A F#m E D
How can you miss me if you won't go away
D A F#m E
Well darling I might still surprise you one day
D A E D
For each sincere good morning I've managed to say
[Chorus and Ending]
E D C#m D
There's been one about twisting my words to console you
F#m D E
One about hiding the black and blue
D A C#m D
And one about leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
From you
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
