[Intro]
           G C             G
I tell you I  can visualise it all
C
Too real it all seems
    Am        C                   G
But once again, runnin' away with me
Am        C                   G
Once again, runnin' away with me
G                       C
This couldn't be a dream
                    G Em C D
Runnin' away with me
                    G Em C D
Runnin' away with me
 
 
[Verse 1]
      Am          G
And I stop myself for a minute
C
See if my heart's still in it
                         Am
Say a few things just to win it
G        C
Funny how it works out, innit?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Am               G
And I told her, "Some things have their time
C
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
           Am               G
She said, "They should take this pain
    C         D
And give it a name"
 
 
[Chorus]
     G     Em              C
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me)
    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am              G
Give yourself a new name
C
Change your voice on the train
                             Am   G
Have her complain about your fame
                  C
Tell me that it's all a rigged game
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am               G
She told me, "Some things just take time
C
How can you be sure if you won't try?"
             Am              G
She said, "I guess I'll take this pain
C               D
Instead of your name"
 
 
[Chorus]
     G     Em              C
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me)
    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 
 
[Bridge]
              C
And it's been replaying on my mind
  B7                        Em
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life
A7
Far too many times
Am                       C
Sunday's nearly over, so I'll just lie awake
     G     Em              C     D
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I
    G      Em                C       D
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
 
 
[Chorus]
        G     Em              C
And tonight, I wish I was your boy
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me, runnin' away with me)
    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
 
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me, runnin' away with me)
 
 
[Outro]
G Em C D
        Runnin' away with me
G Em C D
        Runnin' away with me
