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

girl like an angel runnin' in the night.

She's run away, boy, if you see her,

I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight.
[Chorus]
E C#m
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight,

she's a runaway, a runaway.

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

that she would run away, run away.

Run away, run away,
C#m C#m
she's a runaway.
