verse 2 : use verse 1 chords
too many nights alone , too many days gone by
with nothing much to show , she was running out of time
he was all she’d ever need , if they could just outrun the past
she said “run away with me” , she tried but couldn’t laugh
he said “lesser men than me have put up better fights . ”
she said “we’re doing pretty good if we can just get out alive . ”

he’d come on off the road , on his shoulder laid her cheek

“run away with me tonight” , “run away with me tonight”
