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

She's run away, boy, if you see her,
A# C C
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight.
[Chorus]
F Dm
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight,
A# C
she's a runaway, a runaway.

And why she'd leave, I still can't believe
A# C C
that she would run away, run away.
Dm C Dm C C
Run away, run away,
Dm Dm
she's a runaway.
