Intro: C# Ab F#
       F# C# Ab (2x)

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

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

Prà©-Chorus:
          Ab                 Bb
You gotta know that this is real baby,
F#             C#
Why you wanna fight it?
         Bbm         Ab         F#
It´s the one thing you can´t do.
    Ab B F#
Oh!

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

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

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

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

           Fm                      Bbm
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams,
          Em7
Hold each other 'till the morning light,
   C#                   Bbm
We used to laugh, now we only fight,
Ab                      F#
Baby, are you lonesome now?

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

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

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