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

           E                F#m 
And every day you know that we ride 
                   E        A      D

               E             F#m     E 
Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight 
A         D 
We can go anywhere we want 
       E           F#m               E

We can do anything if we put our minds to it 
D                                    E 
Take your whole life then you put a line through it 
F#m                        E           A 
My love is yours if you're willing to take it 
D                                        E 
Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it 
F#m              E        A 
So come away, starting today 
D                                         E 
Start a new life, together in a different place 
             F#m                     E       A 
We know that love is how these ideas came to be 
          D             E 
So baby, run away with me
[Bridge]
F#m 
 Run away, now 
E      A 
 Run away, now 
D              D   E 
 Run away, now 
F#m 
 Run away, now 
E      A 
 Run away, now 
D              D 
 Run away, now
[Outro]
            E                  F#m   E  A  D 
He used to meet me on the Eastside 
             E                  F#m   E  A  D 
She used to meet me on the Eastside 
            E                  F#m   E  A  D 
He used to meet me on the Eastside 
             E                  F#m 
She used to meet me on the Eastside 
        E              A         D 
In the city where the sun don't set
