[C] I was at our [Am] old school sitting in the [Em] sun [G] Waiting for the passing [C] trains
Wishing you were [Am] here Wishing we could [Em] run [G] Wishing we could run a[F] way
Right across the [C] river in a town so [G] small
The leaves are gonna [Am] change us when they start to [F] fall
Take us to the [C] city, where we'll have it [G] all We'll have it all
[C] Oh yeah, [Em] I would run away with [Am] you now
[F] We could do the things we [C] promised we would always [Em] do
Take a train to [Am] Timbuktu, [F] we could join the circus
[C] Oh yeah, [Em] would you just escape with [Am] me now?
[F] We could do the things we [C] promised, dreaming wide a[Em] wake
Take me back to [Am] yesterday [F] We could be the runa[C] ways

We packed a couple [Am] bags and we stole your father's [Em] car
But we [G] only ever got so [F] far
We drove across the [C] river in a town so [G] small
The leaves are gonna [Am] change us when they start to [F] fall
Take us to the [C] city, where we'll have it [G] all We'll have it all
[C] Oh yeah, [Em] I would run away with [Am] you now
