Verse 1 chords:
    G
The Bike was on the street, outside a midtown bar

He went looking for a drink, wasn't looking very hard
        G
She was sitting on his seat, when he came out the door
          C/G
She said "run away with me", he'd heard the line before
         Am                           C/G
He said "better men than me have been all but left behind."
                G            C/G             D           G

She wrapped her arms around his waist, nowhere to run to anyways

They bolted out into the streets, unknown and beautiful

Into the streets


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
Too many nights alone, too many days gone by
With nothing much to show, she was running out of time
He was all she'd ever need, if they could just outrun the past
She said "run away with me", she tried but couldn't laugh
He said "lesser men than me have put up better fights."
She said "we're doing pretty good if we can just get out alive."


Pre-Chorus 2: use pre-chorus 1 chords
She wrapped her arms around his waist, nowhere to run to anyways
They bolted out into the streets, unknown and beautiful

Unknown and beautiful, unknown and beautiful
Unknown and beautiful, unknown and beautiful


Bridge chords:
Am                                   C/G
Freedom was all that she owned, she moved faster all on her own
        G                                            C/G
But the freedom had left her, left her drifting like smoke
                       Am
Left her drifting like smoke


Interlude: Am - C/G - G - C/G - Am - C/G - Am - C/G - G


Outro Verse chords:
     G
He'd come on off the road, on his shoulder laid her cheek
     C/G
The bitter taste of smoke, the bike between her knees
    G
The engine running loud, couldn't hear her if he tried
     C/G
She spoke into the wind, "Run away with me tonight"
     G
"Run away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"
     C/G
"Run away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"
     G                                                  C/G  G
"Run away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"
