Intro: G - C/G - G - C/G

Verse 1 chords:
The [G]Bike was on the street, outside a midtown bar
He went [C/G]looking for a drink, wasn't looking very hard
She was [G]sitting on his seat, when he came out the door
She said "[C/G]run away with me", he'd heard the line before
He said "[Am]better men than me have been [C/G]all but left behind."
She said "we're [G]doing pretty [C/G]good if we can j[D]ust get out [G]alive."

Pre-chorus 1 chords:
She [Em]wrapped her arms around his waist, no[D]where to run to anyways
They [G]bolted out into the streets, unknown and [C/G]beautiful

Chorus 1 chords:
Unknown and b[G]eautiful, unknown and [C/G]beautiful
Unknown and b[G]eautiful, unknown and [C/G]beautiful
Into the str[G]eets

Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
Too many nights alone, too many days gone by
With nothing much to show, she was running out of time
He was all she'd ever need, if they could just outrun the past
She said "run away with me", she tried but couldn't laugh
He said "lesser men than me have put up better fights."
She said "we're doing pretty good if we can just get out alive."

Pre-Chorus 2: use pre-chorus 1 chords
She wrapped her arms around his waist, nowhere to run to anyways
They bolted out into the streets, unknown and beautiful

Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
Unknown and beautiful, unknown and beautiful
Unknown and beautiful, unknown and beautiful

Bridge chords:
[Am]Freedom was all that she owned, she m[C/G]oved faster all on her own
But the [G]freedom had left her, left her drifting like [C/G]smoke
Left her drifting like [Am]smoke



Interlude: Am - C/G - G - C/G - Am - C/G - Am - C/G - G


Outro Verse chords:
He'd [G]come on off the road, on his shoulder laid her cheek
The b[C/G]itter taste of smoke, the bike between her knees
The [G]engine running loud, couldn't hear her if he tried
She s[C/G]poke into the wind, "Run away with me tonight"
"Run [G]away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"
"Run [C/G]away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"
"Run [G]away with me tonight", "Run away with me tonight"[C/G][G]
