C                                                C5+
We know they're right when they say we're not ready
     F             G                  C
But all we care is how we feel right now
      Em
We'll go ahead just the same
    Am               Dm7(5-)
Prepare to take the blame
      Dm7               D7          G7
We'll run away and get married anyhow

       C                                          C5+
They warned us that we can't live on love forever
    F              G                  C
But we just tell them we'll get by somehow

But all we care is how we feel right now
      Em
Our problems will be greater
    Am               Dm7(5-)
We'll worry 'bout them later
      Dm7               G7          C  C7
We'll run away and get married anyhow

   F
If other kids went through it
     Fm
Then I know we can do it
       Em                 Am
If our love is that much stronger
      Dm7               G7
It will last that much longer

       C                                   C5+
It wasn't too long ago when our folks were
    F            G                 C
Were going through the same thing we are now
      Em
But one thing they're forgetting
    Am               Dm7(5-)
A thing they're not regretting
     Dm7               G7          Dm7
They ran away and got married anyhow
   Bb7(9)
Anyhow
      Dm7              Ab7M        C
They ran away and got married anyhow
