Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- x2

 Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind

 Blue eyed girl playing in the sand

 I've been on the trail for a little while

 But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand

 Teenage rush

 She said

 Ain't we all just runaways?

 We got time and that ain't much

 We can't wait 'till tomorrow

 You gotta know that this is real

 Baby, why you wanna fight it?

 It's the one thing you can't choose

 Oh!

We got engaged on a friday night

 I swore on the head of our unborn child

 That I could take care of the three of us

 But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild

 It's in my blood

You said she might just runaway

 Somewhere else, someplace good

 We can't wait 'till tomorrow

 You gotta know that this is real

 Baby, why you wanna fight it?

 It's the one thing you can't choose

 Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose

 Ain't we all just runaways?

 I knew it when I met you

I'm not gonna let you runaway

 I knew it when I held you

 I wasn't letting go

 We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams

 Hold each other 'till the morning light

 We used to laugh, now we only fight

 Baby are you lonesome now?

 At night I come home after they go to sleep

 Like a stumbling ghost I haunt this hall

 There's a picture of us on our wedding day

 I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

 We can't wait 'till tomorrow

 No we're caught up in the appeal

 Baby, why you wanna hide it?

 It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?)

 I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive

 Ain't we all just runaways?

 I knew it when I met you

I'm not gonna let you runaway

 I knew it when I held you

 I wasn't letting go

 Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeeeaah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?)

Yeeeaah
