Intro:
  
C G F 
F C G (2x) 

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

Bridge
 
        C 
Teenage rush, she said, 
Dm7               G 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
       Am                   C 
We got time, but that ain't much, 
         G             F 
We can't wait...till tomorrow. 

Pre-Chorus 

          G                 A     
You gotta know that this is real baby, 
F             C 
Why you wanna fight it? 
         A   B     C         F  
It's the one thing you can't choose. 
    G A F 
Oh! 

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

Bridge
 
           C 
It's in my blood, 
Dm7                     G 
She said she might just runaway        
          Am               C 
Somewhere else, some place good, 
         G             F 
We can't wait...till tomorrow. 

Pre-Chorus
 
          G       A  
You gotta know that this is real baby, 
F             C 
Why you wanna fight it? 
         A   B     C         F 
It's the one thing you can't choose, 
             G 
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose... 

C G F Ain't we all just runaways? F C G I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you... C G F Runaway! F C G I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go.
Dm7 Am We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams, Dm7 Hold each other till the morning light, Am C We used to laugh, no we only fight, G F Baby, are you lonesome now? Verse C G F That night I come home after they go to sleep, F C G Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls, C G F There's a picture of us on our wedding day, F C G F I recognise the girl but I can't settle in these walls, G F We can't wait...till tomorrow. Pre-Chorus G C No, we're caught up in the appeal baby, F Why you wanna hide it? C G F It's the last thing on my mind, G C F I turn the engine over and my body just comes... G Alive!
C G F Ain't we all just runaways, F C G I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you... C G F Runaway! F C G I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go, C G F Oh Oh oh oh (Ain't we all just runaways,) F C G Ye - E - E - eah! C G F Run! (Ain't we all just runaways) F C G Ye - E - E - eah!
G A C
