Runaway lover
View chords used in this chart
Am G D
You lost your reputation on a woman
Am G D
You didn?t understand or care to
know
Am G D
You get your education from your lovers
Am G D
But now there?s just no place for you
to go
(Chorus)
Am
It doesn?t pay
G D
To be a runaway lover
Am
It doesn?t pay
G D
To give away what you lack
You?ll never get your money back
( Am G D again in this part)
You?re set adrift with no direction
Just like a ship that?s lost at sea
You don?t care where you drop your
anchor
Make sure it doesn?t land on me
(Chorus)
Chorus)
Am
It doesn?t pay
G D
To be a runaway lover
Am
It doesn?t pay
G D
To give away what you lack
You?ll never get your money back
Am G
Walking around on a cloud
D
Cause every girl you meet just trips
on you
Am G
Saying your name out loud
D
I guess you met your match
Am D
Now what will you do
