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