I was a real Casanova in my hometown,

Never really thought about settlin' down
           B    A            F#
That is, until     you came around
           F#
Yeah, it's been a few years, but I remember it well,

I was a rowdy no-gooder, you were hotter than hell
                B    A               F#
I spent all my time     Hot on your trail

[Chorus]
             E                              B      
You could've run to the mountains, could've sailed 
                     F#
across the deep blue sea
       E                         B                     
I knew from the start I couldn't let you get away from 
F#
me

[Verse 2]
           F#
Well, your mama and your daddy they didn't approve,

They told me I was trash and I was born to lose
                     B   A                   F#
But that didn't faze me     I was gonna have you
     F#
So I begged and I pleaded, something I'd never done

As sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
                B     A                     F#
There was no mistake,    Honey you were the one

[Chorus]
             E                              B      
You could've run to the mountains, could've sailed 
                     F#
across the deep blue sea
        E                          B                   
But one thing's for sure you would never get away from 
F#
me

[Bridge]
F     E                  B                   F#
  The sweetest things in life take you by surprise
         E            B               C#
Like the heaven I see looking in your eyes
       D#m                     B                   F#
Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love would be
  E                      B                     F#
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me

[Instrumental]
E   B   F#       x2

[Verse 3]
      F#
As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs

I think back on the good life that we have shared
                      B     A                    F#
And how our love has grown     Down through the years
    F#
So snuggle up to me baby, turn out the lights

There's nowhere on this earth I'd rather be tonight
                   B     A              F#
Than lying in your arms     Holdin' you tight

[Chorus]
   E                 B                      F#
As time rolls by one thing's still clear to see
         E              B                     F#
I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me

                        E                              
Yeah yeah, you could've run to the mountains, could've 
B                           F#
sailed across the deep blue sea
             E              B                     F#
But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me
