EmDGC
When I was young, I fell in love
CD
We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah)
EmDGC
Then we grew up, started to touch
CD
Used to kiss underneath the light on the back of the bus (yeah)
EmDGC
Oh no, your daddy didn't like me much
CD
And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one
EmDGCD
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
DGC
In the city where the sun don't set
CDEm
And every day you know that we ride
DGC
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
CDEmD
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
GC
We can go anywhere we want
CDEmD
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
GC
Just take my hand and come with me
[Post-Chorus]
EmDGC
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
CD
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
EmDGC
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
CD
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
EmDG
So come away, starting today
CD
Start a new life, together in a different place
EmDGC
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
CD
So baby, run away with me
[Verse 2]
EmDGC
Seventeen and we got a dream to have a family
CD
A house and everything in between
EmDGC
And then, oh, suddenly we turned twenty-three
CD
Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously
EmDGC
We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay
CD
Have old friends and know our enemies
EmDGC
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
DGC
In the city where the sun don't set
CDEm
And every day you know that we ride
DGC
Through the backstreets of a blue Corvette
CDEmD
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight
GC
We can go anywhere we want
CDEmD
Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat
GC
Just take my hand and come with me
Singing
[Post-Chorus]
EmDGC
We can do anything if we put our minds to it
CD
Take your whole life then you put a line through it
EmDGC
My love is yours if you're willing to take it
CD
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it
EmDGC
So come away, starting today
CD
Start a new life, together in a different place
EmDGC
We know that love is how these ideas came to be
CD
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]

She used to meet me on the Eastside
