[Intro]
C#   A#m   F#
C#If it takes two, I'm betting on you
F#To hold me tight when tF#sus2ides are high
C#What'll you do while I'm waiting on you
To F#dry these tears you F#sus2made me cry?
[Verse 1]
C#mFeet colder than the snow that choked the city, mmm
C#mMy wings too wild to clip and cage around me
C#mSo maybe I'm selfish for being an actor
C#mPretending to gather when I am a hunter
C#mOr maybe I'm wicked for eating the apple
Or maybe I'm F#5hungry for more than I've got
F#5All I know is that I've got to
[Chorus]
C#mRunaway (run, run, run)
C#mRunaway (run, run, run)
F#5Runaway (run, run, run)
C#mRunaway (oh!)
[Verse 2]
C#mThey tell me temper, temper, little lady
C#mBetter bite that tongue, it is not becoming
C#mMy blood boils rapids to break the levy
C#mAnd let it keep on running, running
C#mAnd maybe I'm crazy for claiming my freedom
C#mFor loving and leaving, I secretly hear them
C#mIt could be so simple, I've broken the thimble
Equipped with a F#5map and a guide to decide
F#5All I know is that I've got to
[Chorus]
C#mRunaway (run, run, run)
C#mRunaway (run, run, run)
F#5Runaway (run, run, run)
C#mRunaway (oh!)
[B-section]
C#mNow you know me
C#mAnd I don't know myself
C#mBetter lose me now
Before I F#5lose myself
No, you don't C#mlove me
C#mAnd I don't love myself
C#mBetter lose me now
Before I F#5lose myself
C#m(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
C#m(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
F#5(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
