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