[Verse 1]
Em7DG
When I was young, I fell in love
CD
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Em7DG
Then we grew up, started to touch
CD
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Em7DG
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
CD
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
Em7DGC
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late
[Chorus]
Em7
She used to meet me on the Eastside
DGC
In the city where the sun don't set
DEm7
And every day you know that we ride
DGC
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
DEm7D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
GC
We can go anywhere we want
DEm7D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
GC
Just take my hand and come with me
[Post-Chorus]
Em7DG
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
CD
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em7DG
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
CD
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em7DG
So come away, starting today
CD
Start a new life, together in a different place
Em7DG
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
CD
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2]
Em7DGC
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
D
A house and everything in between
Em7DG
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
CD
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
Em7DG
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
CD
Have old friends and know our enemies
Em7DG
Now I-, I'm thinking back to when I was young
C
Back to the day when I was falling in love
[Chorus]
Em7
He used to meet me on the Eastside
DGC
In the city where the sun don't set
DEm7
And every day you know that we ride
DGC
Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette
DEm7D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
GC
We can go anywhere we want
DEm7D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
GC
Just take my hand and come with me
Singing
[Post-Chorus]
Em7DG
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
CD
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em7DG
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
CD
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em7DG
So come away, starting today
CD
Start a new life, together in a different place
Em7DG
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
CD
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge]

Em7
Run away, now

Run away, now
CC
Run away, now
