[Verse 1]
G Em
They met at school, that's how it goes
C
Some drinks and then a rose
D
Then plans to meet again
G Em
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
C
She knew that he'd propose
D
She only wondered when
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
One night before they went to bed
C
He kneeled on both knees
D
And this is what he said:
[Chorus]
G C D
I may not be wise
Em D C
And I won't save the day
G C D
But look in my eyes
Em D C
And know I'll always stay
Cm G
And I won't run away
Cm G D/F# Em D C G/B D
I won't run away
[Verse 2]
G Em
Some years went by they had a child
C
He was funny, strange, and mild
D
Their love for him ran deep
G Em
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
C D
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
One night he couldn't get to bed
C
So she kneeled on both knees
D
And this is what she said:
[Chorus]
G C D
I may not be wise
Em D C
And I won't save the day
G C
But look in my eyes
Em D C
And know I'll always stay
Cm G
And I won't run away

[Verse 3]
G Em
You say it's safer on your own
C
You'd rather sleep alone
D
Then grow to need me there
G Em
But I hope now you can see
C
What my mom and dad showed me
D
I'm not going anywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
I love you more and more each day
C
To love is not to leave
D
So hear me when I say:
[Chorus]
G C D
I may not be wise
Em D C
But I won't save the day
G C
But look in my eyes
Em D C
And know I'll always stay

And I won't run away

Cm G
I won't run away
