Intro: C, F (4x) 


         C                          F 
I could tie up the bed sheets and slide down the house 
    C                       F 
Be gone before the morning comes 
         Am                    E 
I could dye my hair, I could change my name 
         F                       G 
Leave it all behind, be free to run 


        C                       F 
When I close my eyes I'm on the other side 
            C                    F 
I'm like a hurricane along the track 
           Am                           E 
I see the landscape's wild from here inside my mind 
            F                          G 
Beyond the walls which always hold me back 


C          F 
It's just my imagination 
C          F 
Running away 
C             F 
Girl's gotta have a little daydream 
Am               F 
It's a secret escape 
C         F 
It's just my imagination 
C         F 
Running away 
Am           F         G        C 
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay 


C, F, C, F 


C                              F 
The noise of the city and the neon sky 
       C                    F 
It'll fade with the volume down 
              Am              E 
But then the quiet gets too close to me 
              F                  G 
So won't you come and bring me around? 


C                                F 
Little slice of paradise in the back of my eyes 
          C             F 
I don't need it to be true 
          Am                        E 
'Cause we all seek shelter from the darker days 
        F                 G 
And I know you go there too 

Pinch me to wake me, runaway daydreamer 


C          F 
It's just my imagination 
C          F 
Running away 
C             F 
Girl's gotta have a little daydream 
Am               F 
It's a secret escape 
C         F 
It's just my imagination 
C         F 
Running away 
Am           F         G        Em 
Don't worry baby, I'm here to stay 


D#            D5 
Runaway, runaway 
C             Em 
Runaway, runaway 
D#            D5  G 
Runaway, runaway
