[Intro] 
A E A
[Verse 1]
AWell aren't we all Egrown up
AWe were only F#mchildren, but Ewho knew it tDhen?
DLovers befAore we knew aF#mnything moEre
For each Dlesson in Atenderness, Elearned on the Dfloor
[Chorus]
There was Eone about Dtwisting my C#mwords, to console Dyou
One about F#mhiding the Dblack and Eblue
And Done about Aleaving the C#mback door oDpen
For the Aendlessly F#mrunning aEway that I Ado
[Verse 2]
The rAain took me by surpErise
AThough I'd heard a F#mwild storm was Ecoming that Dnight
I've Dlearned to ignAore these preF#mdictions alEright
Well Dpartly it's sAtubbornness, Esome of it's Dspite
[Chorus]
But moEstly it's Dtwisting my C#mwords to consDole you
Mostly it's F#mhiding the Dblack and Eblue
And Dalways it's Aleaving the C#mback door oDpen
For the Aendlessly F#mrunning Eaway that I Ado
[Instrumental] 
A E A A F# E D A
[Verse 3]
Now Ayou think you're here to Estay, it's like that joke
AHow can you F#mmiss me if you wEon't go awayD  
Well Ddarling I mighAt still surprF#mise you one Eday
For each sDincere good mAorning I've mEanaged to sayD  
[Chorus and Ending]
There's been onEe about twDisting my wC#mords to consoDle you
One about hiF#mding the blDack and blEue
And Done about leAaving the baC#mck door opeDn
For the Aendlessly F#mrunning aEway that I Ado
From you
For the Aendlessly F#mrunning Eaway that I Ado
