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