Chorus 1:

Bb majorBb                           G minorGm
I'm out walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain
Bb majorBb                            G minorGm
Wishing you were here by me, to end this misery
      Bb majorBb                     G minorGm
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Bb majorBb                G minorGm
Why? wh-wh-wh-wha-why, she ran away

      D#D#                      F7F7
And I wonder, where she will stay?
          Bb majorBb        D#D#                   Bb majorBb       F7F7
My little runaway, run, run, run, run, runaway.
