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