              A#          D#          D       Cm 
Do you ever think about running away 
A#           D#             G       Cm 
'cause i was thinkin' about leavin' today 
A#           D#                D           Cm 
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go 
A#          D#                   G      Cm        A#  D# D Cm 
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names 
    A#    D#           G         Cm 
Then things might change for the good 
 
Cm      G#      D#       G#    A# A#4 A# A#4 
I wanna be somewhere so far away 
Cm     G#                  D#        G#            A# A#4 A# A#4 
To lie under the night at the end of another good day 
Cm      G#          D#     G#        A# A#4 A# A#4 
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone 
    Cm               G#            D#         G#        A# 
But as long as we're together then forever's never too long 
Too long, oh no 
 
Do you ever think about not comin' back 
Hoppin' on a train and we'll burn up the tracks 
We'll jump off somewhere that we don't know how to say 
Maybe hitch a ride from someone who can tell us the way 
To where these things might change for the good 
 
Cm      G#      D#       G#    A# A#4 A# A#4 
I wanna be somewhere so far away 
Cm     G#                  D#        G#            A# A#4 A# A#4 
To lie under the night at the end of another good day 
Cm      G#          D#     G#        A# A#4 A# A#4 
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone 
    Cm               G#            D#         G#        A# 
But as long as we're together then forever's never too 
      G#         B         C A# C D# C A# 
Where forever is never too long 
                         C A# C D# C A# 
Not with you right here by me 
                           C A# C D# C A# 
Maybe, maybe we'll just see 
                     C A# C D# C A# 
Where this road will lead for us 
 
I wanna be somewhere so far away 
To lie under the night at the end of another good day 
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone 
But as long as we're together then forever's never too 
I wanna be somewhere so far away 
To lie under the night at the end of another good day 
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone 
But as long as we're together then forever's never too 
Forever is never too long
