I believe the intro is played on base, but if you want to mimic it on guitar, have a look at this tab: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/zebrahead/runaway-tabs-125899 ~ means hit only once and let ring. The following (D) is implied, but I believe the guitar still holds the previous A~ [Intro] A D [Verse]
    A                                                                     D
She wakes up in the morning in the same room that she's been in her whole life

    A                                                                             D
And everything still looks the same, but the feeling of the room has changed in spite

          A                                                D
She said "You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind"

          A                                                D
She said "You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind all the time"
[Break-Down]
F#m
  Bruised lips and the make-up, tattooed hips and pierced

                        D                  C#m
for the sake of letting everybody know she don't belong here

F#m
  Old tricks that she made up. Attitude: I don't give a fuck

                        D                          C#m
For the sake of letting everybody know. She says I won't belong so long
[Chorus]
A                      E                 F#m
 It's not a lost cause, she's just a runaway

          D
Is there nothing left for you to say?

A                      E                            F#m          D
 And if she comes home, do you think she'll want to stay?
[Verse] A~ (D) She calls at seven thirty, and wants to talk about her boyfriend one last time
    A                                                                           D
And Mom and Dad are fighting in the background shattered glass cuts through red wine

       A                                                    D
I said "I don't know that I'm right but I know that you're wrong"

       A                                                    D
I said "I don't know that I'm right but I know that you're wrong this time"

       Blacked out, passed out at a party.   In another town with the same old Bacardi

D D                   D C#m C#m C#m                        C#m A    F#m F#m
 Nothing ever changes, what's inside me? Someone find me, someone find me

                             F#m E F#m F#m                            F#m E
My heart showed me the way out.         Don't stop, don't give up on me now

D   D   D   D   D   D   D   D  C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m
(palm muted                                                   )
Two beats, two streets, too many repeats to blow my only other way out [Chorus]
A (stop)               E                 F#m
 It's not a lost cause, she's just a runaway

          D
Is there nothing left for you to say?

A                      E                            F#m            D
 And if she comes home, do you think she'll want to stay? Is there anything for her?

A                      E                    F#m
 It's not a lost cause, she's just a runaway (she's just a runaway)

             D
And there's nothing left for you to say

A                      E                            F#m
 And if she comes home, do you think she'll want to stay? (she's just a runaway)

         D
Is there anything for her?
[Outro]
A          E   F#m                   D
  She's a runaway, (she's just a runaway) turn your back on yesterday

  She's a runaway
