This one's the last song on the record, and it's the first that I ever wrote for the record,
and it's a tribute to my mom and pop who are in Los Angeles, _ _ _
and the sort of the love and the example that they [F] set for me growing up.
_ Yeah, it's called Run Away. _ _

They met at [C] school, [Dm] that's how it goes,
some drinks [Bb] and then a rose, then plans [C] to meet again. _
_ _ [F] _ He wrote [C] a poem, [Dm] songs and prose, she [C] knew that [Bb] he'd propose,
she [C] only wondered when.
_ _ _ [Dm] One night before they went to bed, he kneeled [Bb] on both knees,
[F] and this is what [C] he said. _ _
_ _ [F] I may not be [Bb]
wise, _ [C] _ [Dm] then I won't [C] save [Bb] the day,
_ _ but look in my _ eyes, [Dm] I know [C] I'll [Bb] always stay,
_ _ and I won't run, _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
I won't run.
_ [F] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
Some years [C] went by, they [Dm] had a child, he was funny, [Bb] strange and mild,
[C] their love for him ran deep.
_ _ [F] _ Some nights his [C] dreams were [Dm] driving wild, so into [Bb] bed she piled, to help [C] him fall asleep.
_ _ _ [Dm] One night he couldn't get to [F] bed, so she kneeled [Bb] on both knees,
[F] and this is [C] what she said. _ _

_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Dm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ You say it's safer [Dm] on your own, _ [C] you'd rather [Bb] sleep alone,
than grow to need [C] me there, _ _ [F] _ _ but I [Em] hope now [Dm] you can see,
what [C] my mom and dad [Bb] showed me, I'm [F] not going [C] anywhere.
_ _ [Dm] _
I love you more and [F] more each day, _ love is [Bb] not to leave,
[F] so hear me [C] when I say, _ _ [F] I may not be [Bb]
wise,
_ [C] [Dm] then I [C] won't save [Bb] the _ day, [F] but look in [Bb] my eyes,
