[Verse 1]
B                 F#m
Outside there's a runaway
A                          E                  B
The lights go down and the world goes rushing in
                     F#m
Neon light takes the place of day
D          E
Stars like dust are falling
B                F#m
Inside there's a loneliness
A                  E                  B
The demon tries to charm you with his smile
           F#m
No time to dream or rest
E                                B         F#m
In the caves of steel, faces are changing

[Chorus]
            E         B  F#m
They're the runaways

            E         B                      F#m
They're the runaways, children of the damned
            E         B                       F#m
They're the runaways, running for their life, faster than they can
            E
They're the runaways

[Verse 2]
B                  F#m
On the street, the traffic dies
A                    E                B
The break of day, it always comes too soon
               F#m
Running out of reasons why
D                 E                B
All your life you blamed it on the moon
                 F#m
Look out for the danger signs
A                            E                 B
You're stealing time but you know you'll never win
        F#m
Another borderline
E                                B         F#m
In the caves of steel, faces are changing

[Chorus]
            E         B                     F#m
They're the runaways, children of the night
            E         B                      F#m
They're the runaways, running for your life, faster than you can
            E
They're the runaways, ru-ru-runaways

[Verse 3]
B                        F#m
The nightmares chase the dreams away
A                           E       B
The cold night reflects the way you feel
           F#m
It's just another town
D         E                 B
It's just one more night to kill
                    F#m
All the streets are empty now
A                     E                B
Like the wolf, you'll walk this night alone
            F#m
And in some other world
E                                B         F#m
In the caves of steel, faces are changing

[Outro]
            E                               B  F#m
They're the runaways (they're the runaways)
            E                                 B                     F#m
They're the runaways  (they're the runaways), children of the night
            E                             B                     F#m
They're the runaways (ru-ru-ru-runaways), running for your life faster than you can
            E                                B                      F#m

They're the runaways (they're the runaways), running for your life faster than you can
            E                        B  F#m

They're the runaways (they're the runaways), running for your life faster than you can
            E
They're the runaways (they're the runaways)
                                (ru-ru-runaways)
