Tom: Am
Am D
She was just an average blue-eyed, golden high school dream
Dm Am
An illusion nothing real could ever touch
D
Funny love seemed so much more intense at seventeen
Dm Am
When I knew she'd never love me half as much
G C F
I recall the desperate vow I made
E F
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
Em Am
I've got to make her mine
Chorus:
Am G C F
Gonna run away, till I prove that I'm a man
Am G C F
Gonna run away, be the best I know I can
F G C F
Got to run away, got to find my space and time
E Am
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
Am D
Trades were made for promises of a timeless memory
Dm Am
And I knew but still refused to comprehend
D
The fantasy more glamorous then she could ever be
Dm Am
Was the course of least resistance in the end
I recall the desperate vow
Am G C F
Gonna run away, till I prove that I'm a man
Am G C F
Gonna run away, be the best I know I can
F G C F
Got to run away, got to find my space and time
E Am
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
