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