Verse 1
RUN AWAY (G major) CHILD, RUNNING WILD
(E minor) The Temptations
You played hooky from school
And you (A minor) can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the (D major) rest of the week
In your room you
gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The (G major) whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you (E minor) know
it ain't true
You've been punished
cause your mother
Wants to raise you (A minor) the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You (G major) want to run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away (E minor) child, running wild
(A minor) Run away child, running wild
Better (D major) come back home
Better come back home
(G major) Where you belong
Where you belone
Roaming (E minor) through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're (A minor) on your own (D major) at last
Hey it's getting (G major) late,
where will you (E minor) sleep (A minor)
Gettin kind- a hungry
You forgot (D major) to bring (C major) something
(D major) to eat
Oh lost with no (A minor) money, (D major) (G major) you start to cry
But remember you left (B major) (E minor) home
Wanting to be grown
So (A minor) dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down,
neon (D major) light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's (G major) nothing for you
(E minor) You're frightened and confused
I want my (A minor) mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some (D major) frightening
news on the radi (A minor) o
About (G major) little boys running away (E minor) from home
And their parents (A minor) don't
see them no more
You want to (D major) hitch a ride and
go home
But your mama told (E minor) (G major) you
(E minor) never trust a stranger (A minor)
And (D major) you don't know (G major)
which way to go
(E minor) Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor (A minor) sign of life
How you (D major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) long to
(G major) hear your mother's voice
Cause (E minor) you're (A minor) lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run (D major) away child, running wild
Better go back (G major) home
where you belong
Run away (E minor) child, running wild
Better go back (A minor) home
where you belong
You're (D major) lost in this great big (G major) city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one (E minor) familiar face (A minor)
Ain't it a pity
(D major) (Go back home where you belong)
Oh run (G major) away child, (E minor) running wild
You better go back home
(A minor) where you belong
Mama, mama please
(D major) come and see about me
But she's (D major) much (G major) too far away
(E minor) She can't hear a word you say
I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose
Running Away (Ain't Gonna Help You)
