[Intro]
           G C             G
I tell you I  can visualise it all

C
Too real it all seems

    Am        C                   G
But once again, runnin' away with me

Am        C                   G
Once again, runnin' away with me

G                       C
This couldn't be a dream

                    G Em C D
Runnin' away with me

                    G Em C D
Runnin' away with me
[Verse 1]
      Am          G
And I stop myself for a minute

C
See if my heart's still in it

                         Am
Say a few things just to win it

G        C
Funny how it works out, innit?
[Pre-Chorus]
                 Am               G
And I told her, "Some things have their time

C
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"

           Am               G
She said, "They should take this pain

    C         D
And give it a name"
[Chorus]
     G     Em              C
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me)

    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me)
[Verse 2]
Am              G
Give yourself a new name

C
Change your voice on the train

                             Am   G
Have her complain about your fame

                  C
Tell me that it's all a rigged game
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am               G
She told me, "Some things just take time

C
How can you be sure if you won't try?"

             Am              G
She said, "I guess I'll take this pain

C               D
Instead of your name"
[Chorus]
     G     Em              C
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me)

    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me)
[Bridge]
              C
And it's been replaying on my mind

  B7                        Em
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life

A7
Far too many times

Am                       C
Sunday's nearly over, so I'll just lie awake

     G     Em              C     D
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I

    G      Em                C       D
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
[Chorus]
        G     Em              C
And tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
 D
I (Run away from me, run away from me, runnin' away with me)

    G      Em                C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me, runnin' away with me)
[Outro]
G Em C D
        Runnin' away with me

G Em C D
        Runnin' away with me
