         C
I wanna run away with you, I'm in a hurry
While disapproving if they say he wants your money
F
I don't mind what the hell they say
              C
You've gotta get away with me, why don't you, honey?
      D                          F
So, whatever we should do, it's down to me and you
         C               G
I wanna run away with you

Chorus:
     F
Oh, let's go now while the going is good
C
Let's not wait if you think we should
F
Ask the lord if the timing is right
G                                 A#
We ain't gonna toss for it we're leaving here
tonight
         C             G
I wanna run away with you
F       G      C G
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I wanna run away with you, it's kinda silly
That we should have to compromise and kinda funny
Every time that we disagree
All comes back to reality, it ain't so funny
There's nothing we can do, we're feeling black and
blue
I wanna run away with you

Chorus:
We remember the different ways
Bad blood ran was the bad old days
Thank the Lord if you think we should
Stay and make it better if you really think we could
That's why I ran away with you

         C                                F
I wanna run away, I wanna run away with you
         C                                     F
I wanna run, run, run, I wanna run away with you
         C                                F G
I wanna run away, I wanna run away with you

I had to run away with you to make it better
And now I read about the trouble in a letter
I don't mind if you run away
I'm gonna stay where I am, I think it's better
Apologize to you is all that I can do
I had to run away with you

Chorus:
We came so far from the things that we knew
All the way to the skies so blue
Anything that we wanted we got
You really couldn't make it up
Although we tried a lot
Now it's all gone wrong so you're running away
We tried so hard but you couldn't stay
It didn't matter that we got it wrong
You and me, we're not to blame it's just
a losing game

I wanna run away, I wanna run away with you
(Oh yeah)
I wanna run, run, run, I wanna run away with you
(Oh yeah)
I wanna run away, I wanna run away with you
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
