[Verse 1]

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7

I learned my limit in the back of a Camry from Rockaway

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

She had salt in her hair and blood on her feet that day

A13 F#(b9)/A# Bm7 Bm7/E E9

Left a trail that I followed down the shore before the foam wiped away

A D A A A7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

Cauterized in sand and tugging at my hand through the patchwork

[Chorus]

Gm Dm/F E7 Ebmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

Oo-oo-oo-ooh, like runaways from workaday to Rockaway

[Verse 2]

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7

With a cool breath to greet you the sun runs espionage

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

As beige geometry cedes to fields of decoupage

A13 F#(b9)/A# Bm7 Bm7/E E9

From a bag in a box in a bag to a bottle my mind wiped away

A D A A A7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

Darkness in reverse - with me at my worst, she held me

[Chorus]

Gm Dm/F E7 Ebmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

Oo-oo-oo-ooh, like runaways from railways to Rockaway

[Verse 3]

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

I learned my limit in the back of a Camry I don’t recall

Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

At the time I’d have cited some red-headed reason

A D A A A7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9

Was it just to feel, or not to feel at all I was leaving?

[Chorus]

Gm Dm/F E7 Ebmaj7 Dmaj7 Ab7 Gmaj7 Em9 Dmaj7 D

Oo-oo-oo-ooh, like runaways from blue and gray to Rockaway
