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

And why she'd leave, I still can't believe
D E E
that she would run away, run away.
F#m E F#m E E
Run away, run away,
F#m F#m
she's a runaway.
