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