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