Lyrics
Runaway © December 2006 Jacqueline Ayres
Intro chords: Gm# E, Gm# E.
B F#
In the Corners of her mind
GM# E
There?s a distant place in time
B F#
In the shadow?s for her past
Gm# E
There?s a broken child with her heart in a cast
B F#
She spent her whole damn life trying to catch that train
Gm#
She spent her whole damn life trying to board that plane
B F#
When she took each flight she thought she could
Gm# E
Escape from the pain of a torn childhood
B F# Gm# E
Runaway???.from the pain inside and the tears she cried
B F# Gm# E
Runaway??..to a better place somewhere without a trace
B
Runaway
F#
When she reached a distant land
Gm# E
Her tears still rolled like a storm on the sand
B F#
No matter where she went
Gm# E
Her memories lingered like a potent scent
B F#
She spent her whole damn life trying to catch that train
Gm#
She spent her whole damn life trying to board that plane
B F#
When she took each flight she thought she could
Gm# E
Escape from the pain of a torn childhood
B F# Gm# E
Runaway???.from the pain inside and the tears she cried
B F# Gm# E
Runaway??..to a better place somewhere without a trace
B
Runaway
Instrumental???.
Gm# E throughout bridge below
She keeps on running and hurting
And fighting and searching for a little peace of mind
But she won?t find it until she releases her secrets and demons that she hides
