 G               Bm           C
West Coast lost, only you and me,
no one knowing about us
               Em7
Following the white lines,
                D                C
I see it in my headlights, not another car in sight
G               Bm           C
Endless trust, leaving everything even we knew in the dust
          Em7                         D
Gonna lay low, don't know where we'll go,

this is where the rubble meets the road

 G        Bm                C
Sometimes we don't need to run,
we don't need to hide
                        Em7
Don't even need to take our time
                  D                        C
when it's on our side, living life by the minute
 G               Bm                C
Wild cars, this takes the road and all when we roll the dice
          Em7                     D                C
Never set back when we paid the price of one more minute

Chorus:
           G   Bm      C
Let's run away, step back from the city
  Em7  D           C
Escape, and no-one else will have to wait
                 G                    Bm   C
And we'll sing, ooh oh-oh, ooh oh-oh ooh, ooh oh-oh oh oh
           Em7       D     C
Let's run away, oh, let's run away

Broke down car, little pocket change didn't get us too far
Stranded on the highway, fillin' up the ashtray,
maybe this is where we need to stay
We're in start, a little city made from broken parts
Just you and me, we could be free, baby

Sometimes we don't need to run, we don't need to hide
Don't even need to take our time when it's on our side,
livin' life by the minute
Wild cards, this takes the road, it all when we move the dice
Never said it back but we paid the price of one more minute

Chorus:
Let's run away, step back from the city
Escape and no one else will have to wait
And we'll sing, oh-oh-oh...
Let's run away, oh, let's run away
(Let's run away...)
Let's run away, step back from the city
Escape and no one else will have to wait
And we'll sing, oh-oh-oh...
Let's run away, oh, let's run away
