Drop D tuning
D Peeled the paint off his Chevy Nova
G Driving too fast for the tar and gravel,
D-G Couldn't runaway fast enough - to leave his tears behind.
It all started at a birthday party,
Her profile - she was standing sideways,
Looking like a dream come true, as she turned her head his way.
She was in from a nearby city,
He was given the down and dirty,
She was a runaway - looking for a place to hide.
chorus
D - A Hey, let's runaway in my car - And I promise not to take you too far.
Bm -C We don't want your mama to worry, and I gotta get you home by nine.
But I'll take you - where you want to go.
And I'll make you - love me so.
So much that you'll runaway - and leave your cares behind.

Two days gone, they ran around.
Chasing the chickens, this side of the town.
She looked him in the eye - that's when she started to cry...

Hey, let's runaway in your car - And promise, not to push me too far.
We don't want my mama to worry, and I gotta get home in time.
But I'll take you - where you want to go.
And I'll make you - love me so.
So much that you'll runaway - and leave your cares behind.
[intrumental - |: D - C :| |: D - C /A :| Am

So, the tear drops dried a little too fast,
To make him wonder if his dream would last.
He knew she had to runaway - and leave his world behind.
So he peeled the paint off his Chevy Nova
He was driving too fast for the tar and gravel,
Couldn't runaway fast enough - to leave this world behind.
chorus
D - A Hey, let's runaway in my car - And I promise not to take you too far.
Bm -C We don't mama to worry, but I'm not going back this time.
And I'll take you - where you want to go.
And I'll make you - love me so.
So much that you'll runaway - and leave this world behind.
