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