[F#m]When I was young [E], I fell in [A]love
We [D]used to hold hands, man, that was enough[E] (yeah)
[F#m]Then we grew up, [E]started to [A]touch
[D]Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the [E]bus (yeah)
[F#m]Oh no, your daddy didn’t [E]like me [A]much
And he [D]didn’t believe me when I said you were the [E]one
Oh [F#m], every day [E]she found a [A]way out [D]of the window to sneak out
late
She used to meet me on the [F#m]Eastside
In the [E]city where the [A]sun don’t [D]set
And every [E]day you know that [F#m]we ride
Through the [E]backstreets in a [A]blue [D]Corvette
Baby, you know [E]I just wanna [F#m]leave [E]tonight
[A]We can go [D]anywhere we want
Drive [E]down to the [F#m]coast, jump in the [E]seat
[A]Just take my [D]hand and come with me
[F#m]We can do anything [E]if we put our [A]minds to it
[D]Take your whole life then you put a [E]line through it
[F#m]My love is yours if you’re [E]willing to [A]take it
[D]Give me your heart ’cause I ain’t gonna [E]break it
[F#m]So come away, [E]starting to-[A]day
[D]Start a new life, together in a different [E]place
We know that [F#m]love is how these ideas [E]came to [A]be
So baby, [D]run away with [E]me
[F#m]Seventeen and [E]we got a [A]dream to have a [D]family
A house and everything in [E]between
And then, [F#m]oh, suddenly [E]we turned twenty-[A]three
Now we got [D]pressure for taking our life more serious-[E]ly
We got our [F#m]dead-end jobs and got [E]bills to [A]pay
[D]Have old friends and know our enemies[E]
Now I-, [F#m]I’m thinking back to [E]when I was [A]young
Back to the [D]day when I was falling in love
He used to meet me on the [F#m]Eastside
In the [E]city where the [A]sun don’t [D]set
And every [E]day you know that [F#m]we ride
Through the [E]backstreets in a [A]blue [D]Corvette
Baby, you know [E]I just wanna [F#m]leave [E]tonight
[A]We can go [D]anywhere we want
Drive [E]down to the [F#m]coast, jump in the [E]seat
[A]Just take my [D]hand and come with me
Singing
[F#m]We can do anything [E]if we put our [A]minds to it
[D]Take your whole life then you put a [E]line through it
[F#m]My love is yours if you’re [E]willing to [A]take it
[D]Give me your heart ’cause I ain’t gonna [E]break it
[F#m]So come away, [E]starting to-[A]day
[D]Start a new life, together in a different [E]place
We know that [F#m]love is how these ideas [E]came to [A]be
So baby, [D]run away with [E]me
[F#m]… Run away, now
[E]… Run [A]away, now
[D]… Run away, now [D] [E]
[F#m]… Run away, now
[E]… Run [A]away, now
[D]… Run away, now [D]
