***CAPO 1ST FRET!!!***
[Intro]
C G F - F C G x2
[Verse]
C G F
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
F C G
Blue eyed girl playing in the sand
C G F
I've been on the trail for a little while
F C G F
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
Am
Teenage rush
Dm
She said
G
Ain't we all just runaways?
F Am
We got time and that ain't much
[Chorus]
G F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
G Am
You gotta know that this is real
F
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
Am C F
It's the one thing you can't choose
G Am 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 F
But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
Am
It's in my blood
Dm G
You said she might just runaway
F Am
Somewhere else, someplace good
[Chorus]
G F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
G Am
You gotta know that this is real
F
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
Am C F
It's the one thing you can't choose
G
Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose
[Post-Chorus]
C G F
Ain't we all just runaways?
F
I knew it when I met you
C G C G F
I'm not gonna let you runaway
F
I knew it when I held you
C G
I wasn't letting go
[Verse]
Em Am
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
F
Hold each other 'till the morning light
C Am
We used to laugh, now we only fight
G F
Baby are you lonesome now?
C G F
At night I come home after they go to sleep
F C G
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt this hall
C G F
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
F C G F
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls
[Chorus]
G F
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
G Am
No we're caught up in the appeal
F
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
Am C F
It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?)
G
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive
[Post-Chorus]
C G F
Ain't we all just runaways?
F
I knew it when I met you
C G C G F
I'm not gonna let you runaway
F
I knew it when I held you
C G
I wasn't letting go
[Outro]
C G F
Ain't we all just runaways?
F C G C G F
Yeeeaah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?)
F C G
Yeeeaah
[Ending]
G Am F
