[Verse 1]
F# D#m
They met at school, that's how it goes
Cb
Some drinks and then a rose
C#
Then plans to meet again
F# D#m
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
Cb
She knew that he'd propose
C#
She only wondered when
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m F#
One night before they went to bed
Cb
He kneeled on both knees
C#
And this is what he said:
[Chorus]
F# Cb C#
I may not be wise
D#m C# Cb
And I won't save the day
F# Cb C#
But look in my eyes
D#m C# Cb
And know I'll always stay
Cbm F#
And I won't run away
Cbm F# C#/F D#m C# Cb F#/A# C#
I won't run away
[Verse 2]
F# D#m
Some years went by they had a child
Cb
He was funny, strange, and mild
C#
Their love for him ran deep
F# D#m
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
Cb C#
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m F#
One night he couldn't get to bed
Cb
So she kneeled on both knees
C#
And this is what she said:
[Chorus]
F# Cb C#
I may not be wise
D#m C# Cb
And I won't save the day
F# Cb
But look in my eyes
D#m C# Cb
And know I'll always stay
Cbm F#
And I won't run away
Cbm F# C#/F D#m C# Cb F#/A# D#m C#
I won't run away
[Verse 3]
F# D#m
You say it's safer on your own
Cb
You'd rather sleep alone
C#
Then grow to need me there
F# D#m
But I hope now you can see
Cb
What my mom and dad showed me
C#
I'm not going anywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m F#
I love you more and more each day
Cb
To love is not to leave
C#
So hear me when I say:
[Chorus]
F# Cb C#
I may not be wise
D#m C# Cb
But I won't save the day
F# Cb
But look in my eyes
D#m C# Cb
And know I'll always stay
Cbm F# C#/F D#m C# Cb F#/A# C#/G#
And I won't run away
F# C#/F D#m C# Cb
Cbm F#
I won't run away
