^{A E D A} verse 1:
Ch ^A ildren beh ^C#m ave
^F#m That's what they s ^E ay when we're together
A ^A nd watch how you ^C#m play
^F#m They don't underst ^E and and so we're

Runnin' just as fast as we can

Holdin' on to one another's hand

There d ^D oesn't seem to be anyo ^A ne around

verse 2:
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
And then you say:
(repeat chorus)
(more heartbeat and crickets)
outro:
^A I think we're a ^E lone now
There d ^D oesn't seem to be anyo ^A ne around (repeat to fade)
