Intro: C, F   4x


         C                          F
I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house
    C                       F
Be gone before the morning comes
         Am                    E
I could dye my hair, I could change my name
         F                       G
Leave it all behind, be free to run


        C                       F
When I close my eyes I'm on the other side
            C                    F
I'm like a hurricane along the track
           Am                           E
I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind
            F                          G
Beyond the walls which always hold me back


C          F
It's just my imagination
C          F
Running away
C             F
Girl's gotta have a little daydream
Am               F
It's a secret escape
C         F
It's just my imagination
C         F
Running away
Am           F         G        C
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay


C, F, C, F


C                              F
The noise of the city and the neon sky
       C                    F
It'll fade with the volume down
              Am              E
But then the quiet gets too close to me
              F                  G
So won't you come and bring me around?


C                                F
Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes
          C             F
I don't need it to be true
          Am                        E
'Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days
        F                 G
And I know you go there too

Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer


C          F
It's just my imagination
C          F
Running away
C             F
Girl's gotta have a little daydream
Am               F
It's a secret escape
C         F
It's just my imagination
C         F
Running away
Am           F         G        Em
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay


D#            D5
Runaway, runaway

Runaway, runaway
D#            D5  G
