Bm          F#m
Yesterday she stood here with me
G                      A
I kissed her mouth, I had her in my hands
Bm                 F#m
That kind of love, it could last forever
G            A                 G A
And together we made our plans

G   A           F#m  Bm
And then I woke up today
G             A         F#m    Bm
There on the table her letter lay
G                 A        G A
Tellin' me she's goin' away

Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin' in the night
She's run away, boy if you see her
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight

Chorus:
        D                    Bm
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
         G          A
She's a runaway, a runaway
D                      Bm
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
                G         A
That she would run away, run away
     Bm A      Bm A
Run away, run away
         Bm     A G A
She's a runaway

I walked the streets through the heart of the city
Go to the places where she might be
I see her friends they say it's a pity
I get the same thing from everyone that I see

I'll keep searchin' if it's gotta be
And when I find her I'll make her see
No other man could love her like me

Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin' in the night
She's run away, boy if you see her
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight

Chorus

     C#m B     C#m B
Run away, run away
        E                    C#m
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
         A          B
She's a runaway, a runaway
E                     C#m
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
                A         B
That she would run away, run away

        E                    C#m
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
         A          B
She's a runaway, a runaway
E                     C#m
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
                A         B
That she would run away, run away ...
