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