VERSE I
D A G
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
D A
The blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
D A G
I've been on a trail for a little while
D A G
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
VERSE II
Bm
Teenage rush, she said
Em A
"Ain't we all just runaways?"
G Bm
We got time but that ain't much
A G
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
PRE-CHORUS
A Bm
You gotta know that this is real
G D
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
Bm G
It's the one thing you can't choose
A5 B5 G
Oh!
VERSE III
A5 B5 G5
We got engaged on a friday night
D5 A5
I swore on the head of our unborn child
D5 A5 G5
That I could take care of the three of us
D5 A5 G5
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights gets wild
VERSE IV
B5
It's in my blood
E5 A5
She said she might just runaway
G5 B5
Somewhere else, some place good
A G
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
PRE-CHORUS
A Bm
You gotta know that this is real
G D
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
Bm G
It's the one thing you can't choose
A
Let's take a chance
Baby, we can't lose
CHORUS
D A G
Ain't we all just runaways?
I knew it when I met you
D A D A G
I'm not gonna let you runaway
D A
I knew it when I held I wasn't lettin' go
VERSE V
F#m
We used to look at the stars
Bm
And confess our dreams
G
Hold each other 'til the morning light
D Bm
We used to laugh, now we only fight
A G
Baby, are you lonesome now?
VERSE VI
D A G
And at night I come home after they go to sleep
D A
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls
D A G
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
D A G5
I recognize that girl but I can't settle in these walls
A G
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
PRE-CHORUS
A Bm
Now we're caught up in the appeal
G D
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
Bm G
It's the last thing on my mind
A
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive!
CHORUS
D A G
Ain't we all just runaways?
I knew it when I met you
D A D A G
I'm not gonna let you runaway
D A
I knew it when I held I wasn't lettin' go, oh, oh, oh, oh!
D A G
Ain't we all just runaways
D A
Yeah, runaways!
D A G
Ain't we all just runaways
D A5 B5 G
Yeah!
