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