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

She's run away, boy, if you see her,
C D D
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight.
[Chorus]
G Em
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight,
C D
she's a runaway, a runaway.
G Em
And why she'd leave, I still can't believe
C D D
that she would run away, run away.
Em D Em D D
Run away, run away,
Em Em
she's a runaway.
