[Intro]
C G F - F C G x2
[Strophe]
 C           G              F 
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind 
 F         C           G 
Blue eyed girl playing in the sand 
      C           G            F 
I've been on the trail for a little while 
     F            C              G                      F 
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand   
         Am 
Teenage rush 
         Dm 
She said 
                   G 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
        F                  Am 
We got time and that ain't much
[Refrain]
          G            F 
We can't wait 'till tomorrow 
           G                 Am 
You gotta know that this is real 
       F 
Baby, why you wanna fight it? 
         Am         C         F 
It's the one thing you can't choose 
   G Am F 
Oh!
[Strophe]
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                        F 
But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild   
            Am 
It's in my blood 
Dm                          G 
  You said she might just runaway 
           F              Am 
Somewhere else, someplace good
[Refrain]
          G           F 
We can't wait 'till tomorrow 
           G                 Am 
You gotta know that this is real 
       F 
Baby, why you wanna fight it? 
         Am         C         F 
It's the one thing you can't choose 
              G 
Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose
[Post-Refrain]
                  C   G    F 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
                  F 
I knew it when I met you 
C              G       C   G   F 
I'm not gonna let you runaway 
                  F 
I knew it when I held you 
   C             G 
I wasn't letting go
[Strophe]
            Em                       Am 
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams 
           F 
Hold each other 'till the morning light 
    C                     Am 
We used to laugh, now we only fight 
 G                    F 
Baby are you lonesome now?   
            C         G         F 
At night I come home after they go to sleep 
         F         C       G 
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt this hall 
            C        G           F 
There's a picture of us on our wedding day 
        F        C          G                     F 
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls
[Refrain]
          G          F 
We can't wait 'till tomorrow 
           G                Am 
No we're caught up in the appeal 
       F 
Baby, why you wanna hide it? 
          Am        C      F 
It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?) 
   G 
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive 
[Post-Refrain]
                  C   G    F 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
                 F 
I knew it when I met you 
C              G       C  G   F 
I'm not gonna let you runaway 
                  F 
I knew it when I held you 
   C             G 
I wasn't letting go
[Outro]
                  C   G    F 
Ain't we all just runaways? 
F  C G   C   G   F 
Yeeeaah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?) 
F  C G 
Yeeeaah 
G Am F
