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