Em
Girl I wanna be good to you,
A                     G
I never wanna do you no harm,
Em
I'm caught up in this fascination,
 A                  G
Helping with your alarms,

Ignore life if you want to, babe
Do what you've got to do
I need some time in the countryside
I wanna feel so brand new

Chorus:
            Bm      Em
You make me run away,
             D      G
You make me run away,
            Bm            Em
You make me run away angel,
             D      G Bm Em
You make me run away,
 D      G
run away

I see your name on the walls again
I painted you on my toes
Celebrate to resuscitate
We drink to ourselves

You collect lovers like gem stones
You talk of them as your friends
Dangle me from your wrist chain
Another one lost to the winds of change

Chorus:
You make me runaway
You make me runaway
You make me runaway, baby
You make me runaway
Runaway

  G
Still I try to be good to you,
      Bm             Em
You'll always be my friend,
G
I need some time to define my mind,
  Bm               Em
I wanna be someone new,

Chorus:
Why don't we runaway?
Why don't we runaway?
Yeah, we can runaway, angel
Yeah, we could runaway
Why don't we runaway?
You make me runaway, baby
I wanna runaway
I wanna runaway
