Em              D          G   C
When I was young, I fell in love
  C                                     D
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
Em              D          G   C
Then we grew up, started to touch
C                                                    D
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
Em                      D       G  C
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
       C                                           D
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
  Em          D         G        C                                D
Oh, every day she found a way out of the window to sneak out late

[Chorus]
                                Em
She used to meet me on the Eastside
        D              G         C
In the city where the sun don't set
 C            D             Em
And every day you know that we ride
                   D        G     C
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
  C             D             Em     D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G         C
We can go anywhere we want
C          D           Em               D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G             C
Just take my hand and come with me

[Post-Chorus]
Em                D            G       C
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
C                                    D
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em                        D           G     C
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
C                                        D
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em              D        G
So come away, starting today
C                                         D
Start a new life, together in a different place
            Em                    D       G       C
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
          C            D
So baby, run away with me

[Verse 2]
Em            D        G              C
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
 C                           D
A house and everything in between
           Em         D                G   C
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
           C                                        D
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
            Em                  D         G   C
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
C                                  D
Have old friends and know our enemies
         Em                 D         G     C
Now I-, I'm thinking back to when I was young
            C
Back to the day when I was falling in love

[Chorus]
                                Em
He used to meet me on the Eastside
        D              G         C
In the city where the sun don't set
 C            D             Em
And every day you know that we ride
                   D        G     C
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
  C             D             Em     D
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
G         C
We can go anywhere we want
C          D           Em               D
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
G             C
Just take my hand and come with me

Singing

[Post-Chorus]
Em                D             G         C
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
C                                    D
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
Em                        D           G      C
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
C                                        D
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
Em            D        G   C
So come away, starting today
C                                        D
Start a new life, together in a different place
             Em                     D       G     C
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
          C             D
So baby, run away with me

[Bridge]
Em
Run away, now
D
Run away, now
G
Run away, now
C
Run away, now
C
Run away, now
D
Run away, now

[Outro]
                               Em   D  G  C
He used to meet me on the Eastside
 C            D                 Em  D  G  C
She used to meet me on the Eastside
 C            D                  Em  D  G C
He used to meet me on the Eastside
 C            D                  Em
She used to meet me on the Eastside
        D              G        C
In the city where the sun don't set
