Verse
D Bm
I was just a poor young little ugly thing
D Bm
Momma kicked me out, just shy of 17
G A
I was lookin' for love, in the fire, in the flames
G A
But the only way to learn is to get yourself burned
D Bm
That's how I became the runaway
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
D Bm
He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me
G A
I should've known by the look in his eyes
G
We looked at the same guys
A
That's when I realized
[Chorus]
D
No hands will hold me
Bm
I'll always be lonely
Gm A
Is there someone out there who can break
D
This habit of going
Bm
There's no way of knowing
Em Gm D Bm Gm
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A D
Your little runaway
[Verse 3]
D Bm
If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken
D Bm
Take me as an example, I'll be a token
G A
I used to fall head over feet
G
But everyone I loved deceived me
G
So, what choice does that leave
A Bm
A runaway
[Verse 4]
D Bm
You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
D Bm
But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime
G A
My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh
G A
Almost as hard as it is to love me
D Bm
A runaway
[Chorus]
D
No hands will hold me
Bm
I'll always be lonely
Gm A
Is there someone out there who can break
D
This habit of going
Bm
There's no way of knowing
Em Gm D Bm Gm
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A D
Your little runaway
