[Intro]
(Chiming clean guitar, big synth pad, drums crashing in)
Alright! Everybody knows this one!

[Verse 1]
She left a note on the refrigerator, nothing but a line
Said, don't come looking for me, I'll be fine
Took the Greyhound out of Trenton with a duffel and a dream
Seventeen years old and hungrier than gasoline
I met her in a diner where she worked the graveyard shift
She was singing to the radio and God, she had the gift
She said, one day I'm gonna stand up on a stage just like you
And I said, kid, I hope you do, I really hope you do

[Pre-Chorus]
Fly, before this world can teach you how to fall
Fly, and don't look back at all

[Chorus]
Runaway angel, spread your wings tonight
Runaway angel, you were born to burn bright
The world's gonna tell you that you're crazy, that you're wrong
The world's been telling me that all along
Runaway angel, fly!

[Verse 2]
Somebody in her hometown is still praying she comes back
Somebody's got her photograph pinned up beside the clock
And maybe she'll go home someday and maybe she won't ever
Maybe she's already home the moment she left the door
'Cause there's a kind of person that this world can never hold
Who'd rather freeze in freedom than be comfortable and cold
And if you recognise yourself in anything I say
Then this song is not a story, it's a map to get away

[Pre-Chorus]
Fly, before this world can teach you how to fall
Fly, and don't look back at all

[Guitar Solo]
(Soaring melodic, singing sustained notes, harmonised twin leads)

[Crowd Singalong]
Whoa-oh-oh, runaway!
(Whoa-oh-oh, runaway!)
Whoa-oh-oh, runaway!
(Whoa-oh-oh, runaway!)

[Breakdown]
(Guitars drop out, voices and one clean chord)
Every runaway in this building, hands up
Look at all of you
You made it. You made it here.

[Bridge]
I got a letter from a woman in Seattle just last year
Said, I was the girl in the diner and I sing here every night
She said, I never got famous but I never got caged
And I've got two daughters and they know all the words

[Final Chorus]
Runaway angel, spread your wings tonight
Runaway angel, you were born to burn bright
The world's gonna tell you that you're crazy, that you're wrong
The world's been telling me that all along
Runaway angel, fly!
Runaway angel, fly tonight!

[Verse 3]
There's a boy out there tonight who came here with a bruise
And a story that he'll never tell a living soul
But I know the way you're singing and I know what it means
So take this like a passport, take this like a key
There is more world than the one they handed you at the start
And you're allowed to go and find it, you're allowed to run

[Outro]
(Big ringing chords, crowd singing the hook, cymbals shimmering)
Wherever you are tonight, sweetheart, this is still yours.
