INTRO
 
C G F - F C G x2
 
 
VERSE
 
 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
 
 
CHORUS
 
          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!
 
 
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                        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
 
 
CHORUS
 
          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 CHORUS
 
                  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
 
 
VERSE
 
            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
 
 
CHORUS
 
          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 CHORUS
 
                  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
