G G C G

Verse 1:
G
You keep your distance, that's for sure
G

You led me to believe you're an open door
      C
But when I reached for your handle
     G
I learned otherwise
G
You handed fiction out in paperback
       G
Eight hundred pa-a-a-a-ges
 C
Lined from the top to the bottom
           G
with the words "come here"
(G)
And I read every last word


Chorus:
G
When I'm nice you’re disinterested (Woo-ooh)
G
When I’m an asshole you're offended (Woo-ooh)
G
You’re a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch
    C      G
You're perfect, runaway
G
Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh)
G
You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh)
G
If I follow slow, you’ll wait up for me
     C     G
You're to blame, runaway


Verse 2:
G
There’s a problem with your temperature
G
I did my best, I tried my best
  C
To warm you down
          G
But you froze my thermometer
G
Your time is a magical thing
G
Like this curse that you put on me
       C
If you aren’t willing to give me yours
          G
Why should I waste mi-ine?
(G)
That is in the eye of the world


Chorus:
G
When I'm nice you’re disinterested (Woo-ooh)
G
When I’m an asshole you're offended (Woo-ooh)
G
You’re a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch
    C      G
You're perfect, runaway
G
Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh)
G
You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh)
G
If I follow slow, you’ll wait up for me
     C     G
You're to blame, runaway

Chorus:
G
When I'm nice you’re disinterested (Woo-ooh) (If my mind could)
G
When I’m an asshole you're offended (Woo-ooh) (Turn back time)
G
You’re a lure with no prize, a chase with no catch (I'd find myself and warn him that)
    C      G
You're perfect, runaway
G
Though I'm never gonna lock you down (Woo-ooh) (Girl, some day)
G
You're always gonna be around (Woo-ooh) (I'll find a way to)
G
If I follow slow, you’ll wait up for me (Break away from your luring eyes)

You’re to blame, runaway
