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