This one's the last song on the record, and it's the first that I ever wrote for the record,
and it's a tribute to my mom and pop who are in Los Angeles,
and the sort of the love and the example that they [F] set for me growing up.
Yeah, it's called Run Away.
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[C] [F]
They met at [C] school, [Dm] that's how it goes,
some drinks [Bb] and then a rose, then plans [C] to meet again.
[F] He wrote [C] a poem, [Dm] songs and prose, she [C] knew that [Bb] he'd propose,
she [C] only wondered when.
[Dm] One night before they went to bed, he kneeled [Bb] on both knees,
[F] and this is what [C] he said.
[F] I may not be [Bb]
wise, [C] [Dm] then I won't [C] save [Bb] the day,
but look in my eyes, [Dm] I know [C] I'll [Bb] always stay,
and I won't run, [F] [Bb]
I won't run.
[F]
[Dm] [Bb]
[C] [F]
Some years [C] went by, they [Dm] had a child, he was funny, [Bb] strange and mild,
[C] their love for him ran deep.
[F] Some nights his [C] dreams were [Dm] driving wild, so into [Bb] bed she piled, to help [C] him fall asleep.
[Dm] One night he couldn't get to [F] bed, so she kneeled [Bb] on both knees,
[F] and this is [C] what she said.
[F] I may not be [Bb] wise, [C] [Dm] then I won't [C] save [Bb] the day,
[F] but look in [Bb] my eyes, [Dm] I know [C] I'll always [Bb] stay,
and I won't run, [F] [Bb] I won't [F] run.
[Dm]
[C] [Bb] [F] [Dm]
[C] [F] You say it's safer [Dm] on your own, [C] you'd rather [Bb] sleep alone,
than grow to need [C] me there, [F] but I [Em] hope now [Dm] you can see,
what [C] my mom and dad [Bb] showed me, I'm [F] not going [C] anywhere.
[Dm]
I love you more and [F] more each day, love is [Bb] not to leave,
[F] so hear me [C] when I say, [F] I may not be [Bb]
wise,
[C] [Dm] then I [C] won't save [Bb] the day, [F] but look in [Bb] my eyes,
[Dm] I know [C] I'll always [Bb] stay, and I won't run, [F] I [Dm]
[Bb] [C]
won't [F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb]
run.
