Verse 1
D Asus4 G5
Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind
G D Asus4
A blue eyed girl playing in the sand
D Asus4 G
I'd been on her trail for a little while
G D Asus4 A G
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
Refrain 1
Bm Em Asus2 A G
The teenage rush she said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time"
Bm
But that ain't much....
Pre-Chorus 1
A G
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
A Bm
You gotta know that this is real,
G D/F#
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
Bm Amaj7 G
It's the one thing you can't choose
Oh!
A-Bm-G(hold)
Verse 2
A Bm G
We got engaged on a Friday night
G D Asus4
I swore on the head of our unborn child
D Asus4 G5
That I could take care of the three of us
G D Asus4 A G
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
Refrain 2
Bm
It's in my blood
Em Asus2 A G
She said she might just runaway somewhere else,
Bm
Some place good
Pre-Chorus 2

Chorus 1

I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway

I knew it when I held you I wasn't lettin' go
Bridge
D/F# G Bm
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
G D/F# Em
Hold each other 'til the morning light
D Bm
We used to laugh, now we only fight
Asus2 A G(hold)
Baby are you lonesome now?
Verse 3
D Asus4 G
At night I come home after they go to sleep
G D A
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls
D Asus4 G
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
G D Asus4 A G
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls
Pre-Chorus 3
A G
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
A Bm
Now we're caught up in the appeal
G D/F#
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
Bm Amaj7 G
It's the last thing on my mind
Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive!
Chorus 2
