[Intro]
 
                     E    B
Come on, get up and go
                  C#m
Another true story
                  A
(Another true story)
 
[Verse 1]
 
E                        C#m
Running through airports
                     A
Waiting at stations
                      B
Hoping you'd be there
                            E
Wanting to tell you my name
                     C#m
Hoping you'd see me
                      A
Stuck in the outfield
                    B
Hoping you'd notice
 
And you know who I am now
 
[Bridge]
 
Ab          A            E         B
All of my issues were dragging me down
Ab         A       E           B
I always wanted to be someone else
 
Now we both say
 
[Chorus]
 
E                               B
We were the young and hopeless
                         C#m
We were the broken youth
                              A
You're not the only one they used
 
I was in the outfield too
E                           B
Somehow we found redemption
                             C#m
We felt the love that's true
                           A
My life was leading me to you
 
I was in the outfield too
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                            C#m
I was thinking about school
                          A
It was so fucking painful
                                  B
My parents were both such a wreck
                             E
I needed to lean on a friend
                             C#m
And you were stuck out there
                         A
Somewhere in California 
                       B
And I was day dreaming
 
About falling asleep next to
 
[Bridge]
 
Ab           A             E         B
You help me face all the darkness in me
Ab               A            E         B
You shined your light in the spaces between
 
Now we both say
 
[Chorus]
 
E                              B
We were the young and hopeless
                         C#m
We were the broken youth
                              A
You're not the only one they used
 
I was in the outfield too
E                           B
Somehow we found redemption
                             C#m
We felt the love that's true
                           A
My life was leading me to you
 
I was in the outfield too
 
[Break]
 
C#m                   A
Whatcha say, whatcha say, we can leave 
         E               B
Just to give it all and live forever
C#m            A
Runaway, runaway, we can go
         E                 B
We can drive to somewhere new
C#m                 A
If you say, if you say, would you stay? 
          E                B
I don't mind as long as we're together
C#m                      A
So whatcha say, whatcha say, will you stay?
         B
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
 
Tell me that we'll live forever
 
[Chorus]
 
E                              B
We were the young and hopeless
                         C#m
We were the broken youth
                              A
You're not the only one they used
 
I was in the outfield
E                              B
We were the young and hopeless
                         C#m
We were the broken youth
                              A
You're not the only one they used
 
I was in the outfield too
E                           B
Somehow we found redemption
                             C#m
We felt the love that's true
                           A
My life was leading me to you
 
I was in the outfield too
 
[Outro]
 
E             F#m
Runaway, runaway, runaway,
          Ab                A
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
 
We found redemption
E              F#m
Runaway, runaway, runaway
          Ab                A
Come on tell me that we'll live forever
 
We found redemption
E             F#               Ab                A
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
 
We found redemption
E             F#               Ab                A
Runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
            E E E    A A A  E
We found redemption
