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 MajorG FF
FF C majorC G MajorG (x2)


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


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

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


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


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


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


[Chorus]
                  C majorC   G MajorG   FF
Ain't we all just runaways?
                 FF     C majorC                G MajorG
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you...
  C majorC G MajorG FF
Runaway!
                 FF           C majorC              G MajorG
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 MajorG                      FF
Baby, are you lonesome now?


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


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


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

G MajorG A majorA C majorC (ring)
