Chorus:
C
Come on just take my hand
G
baby lets go
Am
we’ll run away with nothin’
F
but our love to show
C
we’ll dance in the street

with mud on our knees
Am
and show the world we’re

everything they wish to be
F C
but nothing that they want to see
C
Remember those days
we lost track of miles
G
punk rock love and dysfunctional smiles
Am
livin’ in the clouds
F
screamin’ our lungs out
C
we laughed when noone listened
G
cause we knew it’d all work out
Am
we were the only two that were conscience
F
in that stupid fucking town
C
traveling to different cities
G
deciding anywhere is home
Am
as long as you were by my side
F
I never felt alone
C
cigarettes to wind
40’s in our hands
G
this love we share is real and noone could ever understand
Am
these feelings we were born to feel
G F C
you know I’ll follow you anywhere
Chorus
C
Droppin’ out of high school
G
sneakin’ out of windows
Am
playin’ music to cops
F
that wanted to shut us down
C
the moment I looked into your eyes
G
you held me through all those bad times
Am
the friends that got locked up
G
and all those friends
F C
that never made it through the night
C G Am F
C
seemed like we were the only two
G
that would ever make it through
C
this fucking life
