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