Verse
D# Cm
I was just a poor young little ugly thing
D# Cm
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# Cm
That's how I became the runaway
[Verse 2]
D# Cm
I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
D# Cm
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
Cm
I'll always be lonely
G#m A#
Is there someone out there who can break
D#
This habit of going
Cm
There's no way of knowing
Fm G#m D# Cm G#m
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A# D#
Your little runaway
[Verse 3]
D# Cm
If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken
D# Cm
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# Cm
A# runaway
[Verse 4]
D# Cm
You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
D# Cm
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# Cm
A# runaway
[Chorus]
D#
No hands will hold me
Cm
I'll always be lonely
G#m A#
Is there someone out there who can break
D#
This habit of going
Cm
There's no way of knowing
Fm G#m D# Cm G#m
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A# D#
Your little runaway
