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