E             B/D#
Only a quitter would let it go
 D                 A
I'm your fool in a one man show
E                B/D#
I was so bitter till you came along
 D                     A
Set my sails when the tide was low

A            B
We're going down this road,
      E                     B
With tears in our rearview mirror
          A               B
Far from home but in the dark you know
      E                        B
with me you've got nothing to fear

Chorus:
          E
So let's run away
  B                             C#m
They will have to find another heart to break
  A                E
Why don't we just run away?
 B                           C#m
Never turn around no matter what they say.
       A
We'll find a way!
          E            B
When the sun goes down on this town
             D              A
There'll be no one left but us.
           E
Just like runaways,
  B                                C#m
They will have to find some other hearts to break,
 A
Hearts to break.

Out in the distance, lost in the fold
We trace our steps to a great unknown
Bury our toes where the ocean meets the sand
We hide ourselves right where we stand

We're going down this road
With tears in our rear view mirror
Far from home, but in the dark, you know
With me you've got nothing to fear

Chorus

 E          F#m     G#m     A
They won't catch us in the dark!
 E          F#m    G#m         A
Roll like thunder, burn like stars!
 E          F#m    G#m      A
They won't catch us in the dark!
 E          F#m    G#m         A
Roll like thunder, burn like stars!

Run away
They will have to find another heart to break
Heart to break...

Chorus
