           jbro1985

Well, this song was released this morning and I haven't stopped listening to it
since, so thought I might as well jot down the chords as I listened!

It's my first tab, but I reckon it's pretty accurate. You decide.

So here goes.

CAPO 1

[Intro]
C majorC G+G FF
F C majorC G+G (x2)

[Verse]
C majorC      G+G       FF
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind,
  FF     C majorC      G+G
The blue-eyed girl playing in the sand,
  C majorC      G+G      FF
I'd been on her trail for a little while,
  FF      C majorC       G+G           A minorAm
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.

[Bridge]
    C majorC
Teenage rush, she said,
Dm7Dm7        G+G
Ain't we all just runaways?
    A minorAm          C majorC
We got time, but that ain't much,
     G+G       FF
We can't wait...till tomorrow.

[Pre-Chorus]
     G+G         A augmentedA      -- 3rd fret, then 5th
You gotta know that this is real baby,
FF       C majorC
Why you wanna fight it?
     A augmentedA  BB   C majorC     FF      -- 5th fret, 7th, 8th, 1st
It's the one thing you can't choose.
  G+G A augmentedA FF
Oh!

[Verse]
C majorC      G+G     FF
We got engaged on a Friday night,
  FF     C majorC      G+G
I swore on the head of our unborn child,
   C majorC      G+G      FF
That I could take care of the three of us,
  FF     C majorC     G+G            A minorAm
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild.

[Bridge]
      C majorC
It's in my blood,
Dm7Dm7           G+G
She said she might just runaway
     A minorAm        C majorC
Somewhere else, some place good,
     G+G       FF
We can't wait...till tomorrow.

[Pre-Chorus]
     G+G (3rd fret)   A augmentedA (5th fret)
You gotta know that this is real baby,
FF       C majorC
Why you wanna fight it?
     A augmentedA  BB   C majorC     FF
It's the one thing you can't choose,
       G+G (3rd fret)
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose...

[Chorus]
         C majorC  G+G  FF
Ain't we all just runaways?
         FF   C majorC        G+G
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you...
 C majorC G+G FF
Runaway!
         FF      C majorC       G+G
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go.

[Middle 8]
      Dm7Dm7           A minorAm
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams,
     Dm7Dm7
Hold each other till the morning light,
  A minorAm          C majorC
We used to laugh, no we only fight,
G+G           FF
Baby, are you lonesome now?

[Verse]
       C majorC     G+G     FF
That night I come home after they go to sleep,
    FF     C majorC    G+G
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls,
     C majorC     G+G     FF
There's a picture of us on our wedding day,
    FF    C majorC     G+G           FF
I recognise the girl but I can't settle in these walls,
     G+G       FF
We can't wait...till tomorrow.

[Pre-Chorus]
         G+G      C majorC
No, we're caught up in the appeal baby,
FF
Why you wanna hide it?
     C majorC     G+G   FF
It's the last thing on my mind,
 G+G        C majorC      FF
I turn the engine over and my body just comes...
G+G (3rd fret)
Alive!

[Chorus]
         C majorC  G+G  FF
Ain't we all just runaways,
         FF    C majorC       G+G
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you...
 C majorC G+G FF
Runaway!
         FF      C majorC       G+G
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go,
      C majorC     G+G    FF
Oh Oh oh oh (Ain't we all just runaways,)
   FF    C majorC  G+G
Ye - E MajorE - E MajorE - eah!
  C majorC     G+G    FF
Run! (Ain't we all just runaways)
   FF    C majorC  G+G
Ye - E MajorE - E MajorE - eah!

G+G A augmentedA C majorC (ring)
