D                                    Bm
I was just a poor young little ugly thing
D                                Bm
Momma kicked me out, just shy of 17
       G                                     A
I was lookin' for love, in the fire, in the flames
         G                                   A
But the only way to learn is to get yourself burned
D                       Bm
That's how I became the runaway

[Verse 2]
D                                           Bm
I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
D                                              Bm
He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me
G                                    A
I should've known by the look in his eyes
G
We looked at the same guys
               A
That's when I realized

[Chorus]
D
No hands will hold me
Bm
I'll always be lonely
Gm                                 A
Is there someone out there who can break
D
This habit of going
Bm
There's no way of knowing
   Em                 Gm                D   Bm  Gm
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A           D
Your little runaway

[Verse 3]
D                                             Bm
If you're not careful, you'll get your heart broken
D                                 Bm
Take me as an example, I'll be a token
G                          A
I used to fall head over feet
G
But everyone I loved deceived me
G
So, what choice does that leave
A           Bm
A runaway

[Verse 4]
D                                             Bm
You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
D                                  Bm
But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime
G                                    A
My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh
G                               A
Almost as hard as it is to love me
D        Bm
A runaway

[Chorus]
D
No hands will hold me
Bm
I'll always be lonely
Gm                                 A
Is there someone out there who can break
D
This habit of going
Bm
There's no way of knowing
   Em                 Gm                D   Bm  Gm
I promise I'll always be your little runaway
A           D
Your little runaway
