Ab Bb Ab Bb  C
         
C                   Am            
Could have been the kiss of my life
                    F        C  
Could have been the death of me
                     F               Dm     G   
Could have been that I was just too scared
   G               Am    C       
To wait around and see
C                      Am       
You could have been a guardian angle
                      F      C           
I could have been the wicked one
            F              Dm     G            
Besides the buttons on our shirts
                        Am  C
What else did we leave undone
        F        
When we ran
        C           
When we ran
        F   
When we ran           
                Am                        C
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands
                  C       
Right through our hands
            Am
Maybe I was tryin' to tell ya
                  F       C 
I'd never known a love so strong
             F              Dm       G
Maybe in the shadows of the night
                                 Am  C
We just couldn't tell right from wrong
            Am
Maybe its a real-life story
                F      C
Livin' with the sad regrets
             F                 Dm       G 
Maybe you   were just a sweet dream baby
                       Am  C
Somethin' that I can't forget
        F        
When we ran
        C           
When we ran
        F   
When we ran           
                Am                        C
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands
                  C       
Right through our hands
Ab                      Bb        
You only had to say the word
                           Ab
I would have turned around and heard
                           Bb         F    D
But as it is we can't turn back
                  Bm
The mind's just a loose cannon, baby
                   G       D
And the memories, rolling dice
         G                   Em   A
We found something one time, baby
                        Bm  D
But we thought about it twice
        G        
And we ran
        D           
When we ran
        G            D           G           D
When we ran   and we ran  and we ran  and we ran
