Run Away chords by Ben Platt
[Intro]
F C/E Dm C Bbsus2 F/A C C7
F C/E Dm C Bbsus2 F/A C

[Verse 1]
F C/E Dm
They met at school, that’s how it goes
Cadd9 Bbsus2
Some drinks and then a rose
F/A C
Then plans to meet again
F C/E Dm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
C Bbsus2
She knew that he’d propose
F/A C
She only wondered when

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
One night before they went to bed
C/E Bbsus2
He kneeled on both knees
F/A C C7
And this is what he said:

[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won’t save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I’ll always stay
Bbm F
And I won’t run away
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A C C7
I won’t run away

[Verse 2]
F C/E Dm
Some years went by they had a child
Cadd9 Bbsus2
He was funny, strange, and mild
F/A C
Their love for him ran deep
F C/E Dm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
C Bbsus2 F/A C
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
One night he couldn’t get to bed
C/E Bbsus2
So she kneeled on both knees
F/A C C7
And this is what she said:

[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won’t save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I’ll always stay
Bbm F
And I won’t run away
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A Dm C C7
I won’t run away

[Verse 3]
F C/E Dm
You say it’s safer on your own
Cadd9 Bbsus2
You’d rather sleep alone
F/A C
Then grow to need me there
F C/E Dm
But I hope now you can see
C Bbsus2
What my mom and dad showed me
F/A C
I’m not going any-where

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm C F
I love you more and more each day
C/E Bbsus2
To love is not to leave
F/A C C7
So hear me when I say:

[Chorus]
Gm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
I may not be wise
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And I won’t save the day
Fm F Bbsus2 Cadd9
But look in my eyes
Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2
And know I’ll always stay
Bbm F C/E Dm Cadd9 Bbsus2 F/A C/G F C/E Dm C Bb
And I won’t run away
Bbm F
I won’t run away
