    F#F# C#C# AbAb (2x)

Verse 1:
C#C#      AbAb       F#F#
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind,
  F#F#     C#C#      AbAb
A augmentedA blue-eyed girl playing in the sand,
  C#C#      AbAb      F#F#
I´ve been on her trail for a little while,
  F#F#      C#C#       AbAb           F#F#
And that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.

Bridge:
    BbmBbm
Teenage rush, she said,
E minor 7Em7        AbAb
Can´t we all just runaway?
    F#F#           BbmBbm
Cuz we got time, but that ain´t much,
     AbAb      F#F#
We can´t wait 'till tomorrow.

Pré-Chorus:
     AbAb         Bb majorBb
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F#F#       C#C#
Why you wanna fight it?
     BbmBbm     AbAb     F#F#
It´s the one thing you can´t do.
  AbAb BB F#F#
Oh!

Verse 2:
C#C#      AbAb     F#F#
We got engaged on a Friday night,
  F#F#     C#C#      AbAb
I swore on the head of our unborn child,
   C#C#      AbAb     F#F#
That I could take care of the three of us,
  F#F#     C#C#     AbAb            F#F#
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild.

Bridge:
      BbmBbm
It´s in my blood,
E minor 7Em7           AbAb
She said she might just runaway
      F#F#        BbmBbm
Somewhere else, some place good,
     AbAb       F#F#
We can´t wait 'till tomorrow.

Pré-Chorus:
     AbAb         Bb majorBb
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F#F#       C#C#
Why you wanna fight it?
     BbmBbm    AbAb     F#F#
It´s the one thing you can´t do,
       AbAb
Let´s take a chance baby we can´t lose

Chorus:
         C#C#  AbAb  F#F#
Here we are, just runaways
         F#F#   C#C#        AbAb
I knew it when I met you, I´m not gonna let you
 C#C# AbAb F#F#
Runaway!
         F#F#      C#C#       AbAb
I knew it when I held you, I wasn´t letting go.

      F minorFm           BbmBbm
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams,
     E minor 7Em7
Hold each other 'till the morning light,
  C#C#          BbmBbm
We used to laugh, now we only fight,
AbAb           F#F#
Baby, are you lonesome now?

Verse 3:
       C#C#     AbAb     F#F#
That night I come home after they go to sleep,
    F#F#     C#C#    AbAb
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls,
     C#C#     AbAb     F#F#
There´s a picture of us on our wedding day,
    F#F#    C#C#     AbAb           F#F#  (F#F# FF F#F# AbAb)
I recognise the girl but I can´t settle in these walls,
     AbAb       F#F#
We can´t wait 'till tomorrow.

Pré-Chorus:
              C#C#
Now we´re caught up in the appeal baby,
F#F#
Why you wanna hide it?
     C#C#     AbAb   F#F#
It´s the last thing on my mind,
 AbAb        C#C#      F#F#
I turn the engine over and my body just comes
AbAb
Alive!

Chorus:
         C#C#  AbAb  F#F#
Ain´t we all just runaways,
         F#F#    C#C#       AbAb
I knew it when I met you, I´m not gonna let you
 C#C# AbAb F#F#
Runaway!
         F#F#      C#C#       AbAb
I knew it when I held you, I wasn´t letting go,
      C#C#     AbAb    F#F#
Oh Oh oh oh (Ain´t we all just runaways)
   F#F#    C#C#  AbAb
Ye - e - e - eah!
  C#C#     AbAb    F#F#
Run! (Ain´t we all just runaways)
   F#F#    C#C#  AbAb
Ye - e - e - eah!
