Run Away chords by Ben Platt
[Intro]
F C/E Dm C Bbsus2 F/A C C7
F C/E Dm C Bbsus2 F/A C
[Verse 1]
F C/E Dm
They met at school, that's how it goes
Cadd9 Bbsus2
Some drinks and then a rose
F/A C
Then plans to meet again
F C/E Dm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
C Bbsus2
She knew that he'd propose
F/A C
She only wondered when
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
One night before they went to bed
C/E Bbsus2
He kneeled on both knees
F/A C C7
And this is what he said:
[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won't save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F
And I won't run away
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A C C7
I won't run away
[Verse 2]
F C/E Dm
Some years went by they had a child
Cadd9 Bbsus2
He was funny, strange, and mild
F/A C
Their love for him ran deep
F C/E Dm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
C Bbsus2 F/A C
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
One night he couldn't get to bed
C/E Bbsus2
So she kneeled on both knees
F/A C C7
And this is what she said:
[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won't save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F
And I won't run away
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A Dm C C7
I won't run away
[Verse 3]
F C/E Dm
You say it's safer on your own
Cadd9 Bbsus2
You'd rather sleep alone
F/A C
Then grow to need me there
F C/E Dm
But I hope now you can see
C Bbsus2
What my mom and dad showed me
F/A C
I'm not going any-where
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
I love you more and more each day
C/E Bbsus2
To love is not to leave
F/A C C7
So hear me when I say:
[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won't save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I'll always stay
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A C/G F C/E Dm C Bb
And I won't run away
Bbm F
I won't run away
They met at school that's how it goes
Some drinks and then a rose
Then plans to meet again
He wrote her poems songs and prose
She knew that he'd propose
She only wondered when
One night before they went to bed
He kneeled on both knees
And this is what he said
"I may not be wise
And I won't save the day
But look in my eyes
And know I'll always stay
And I won't run away
I won't run away"
Some years went by they had a child
He was funny strange and mild
Their love for him ran deep
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
So into bed she piled
To help him fall asleep
One night he couldn't get to bed
So she kneeled on both knees
And this is what she said
"I may not be wise
And I won't save the day
But look in my eyes
And know I'll always stay
And I won't run away
I won't run away"
You say it's safer on your own
You'd rather sleep alone
Than grow to need me there
But I hope now you can see
What my mom and dad showed me
I'm not going anywhere
I love you more and more each day
To love is not to leave
So hear me when I say
"I may not be wise
And I won't save the day
But look in my eyes
And know I'll always stay
And I won't run away
I won't run away"
