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 I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me I should've known by the look in his eyes We looked at the same guys 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 If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken Take me as an example, I'll be a token I used to fall head over feet But everyone I loved deceived me So what choice does that leave A runaway? You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh Almost as hard as it is to love me A runaway Chorus: No hands will hold me I'll always be lonely Is there someone out there who can break This habit of going? There's no way of knowing I promise I'll always be your little runaway I'll be your runaway You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#m  F#  G#m  B  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
