Verse 1:
E
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn,  if your wife cursed the day you were born,

Throw your clothes into a duffle bag,  shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag
A
Who can I turn to and where can I stay I heard a place is open all night and all day
          C
There's a place you can go where the wife don't know
                                                       E
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child       Runaway boys

Vverse 2:
     E
Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob, You're in your fifties now and you don’t want a job,

Go into the pub and shoot a few games, Losing all your money, man it's always the same
A                                                                                                         E
Spend a couple of bucks to buy a new toy, Slip into the alley with the Runaway boys              Runaway Boys

G                                                    A
Runnin' faster, faster all the time You're over age and God knows, that's a crime
