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.

Pré-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.

Pré-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.

Pré-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!
