[Verse 1]
Am Em
Yesterday she stood here with me,
F G
I kissed her mouth, I had her in my hands.
Am Em
That kind of love, it could last forever
F G G
and together we made our plans.
F G Em Am
And then I woke up today,
F G Em Am
there on the table her letter lay
F G G
tellin' me she's goin' away.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Runaway, boy, have you seen a
F G
girl like an angel runnin' in the night.
Am Em
She's run away, boy, if you see her,
F G G
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight.
[Chorus]
C Am
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight,
F G
she's a runaway, a runaway.
C Am
And why she'd leave, I still can't believe
F G G
that she would run away, run away.
Am G Am G G
Run away, run away,
Am Em F G
she's a runaway.
[Verse 2]
Am Em
I walked the streets through the heart of the city,
F G
go to the places where she might be.
Am Em
I see her friends they say it's a pity,
F G G
I get the same thing from everyone that I see.
F G Em Am
I'll keep searchin' if it's gotta be
F G Em Am
and when I find her I'll make her see,
F G G
no other man could love her like me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Runaway, boy, have you seen a

She's run away, boy, if you see her,
F G G
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight.
[Chorus]
C Am
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight,

And why she'd leave, I still can't believe

that she would run away, run away.
Am G Am G G
Run away, run away,
Am Am
she's a runaway.
