[Verse 1]

C Dadd11 Em

You seemed so different from everyone

How you fooled me

C Dadd11 Em

Your heart was as here and gone as a loaded gun

Quickly fired

C Dadd11

The pain so deep, no sign of healing

Em G

But I took our love so damn seriously

C Dadd11 Em G

Seriously

[Chorus]

You're just a runaway

Dadd11

I thought you'd always stay

Em Dsus2/F#

But in a moment it got harder

G Dsus4/F#

Your heart was not as honest

as I thought it'd be

Dadd11

Yeah, you swore to me

Em Dsus2/F#

I'd take an army to destroy us

G Dsus4/F#

But now all that I know is

G Dsus4/F# C

that I'll ne-ver change

And you're just a runaway

[Instrumental]

C Dadd11 Em G

ooohhooohhhhooohh

[Verse 2]

C Dadd11 Em

I was as ready as I'd ever been

Open and hopeful,

C Dadd11 Em

but I, I was torn and tossed to the deepest end

Of endless wishing

C Dadd11 Em

that I was wrong, and that you were better than what you showed me

G C

keeps on messing with me

Dadd11 Em G

It's still messing with me

[Chorus]

You're just a runaway

Dadd11

I thought you'd always stay

Em Dsus2/F#

But in a moment it got harder

G Dsus4/F#

Your heart was not as honest

as I thought it'd be

Dadd11

Yeah, you swore to me

Em Dsus2/F#

It'd take an army to destroy us

G Dsus4/F#

But now all that I know is

G Dsus4/F# C

that I'll ne-ver change

And you're just a runaway

C Dadd11 Em G

ooohhooohhhhooohh

C Dadd11

[Bridge]

G Dsus4/F# C

From the highest high

C Dsus2/F# Em

To the lowest low

G Dsus4/F# C

If it's a ru na way

You just gotta let him go

[Instrumental]

C Dadd11 Em G

ooohhooohhhhooohh

[Chorus]

You're just a runaway

Dadd11

I thought you'd always stay

Em Dsus2/F#

But in a moment it got harder

G Dsus4/F#

Your heart was not as honest

as I thought it'd be

Dadd11

Yeah, you swore to me

Em Dsus2/F#

I'd take an army to destroy us

G Dsus4/F#

But now all that I know is

G Dsus4/F# C

that I'll ne-ver change
