*G                  *D
I gotta keep my head up outta the clouds
    *A                         *G
They say I'll die but they won't show me how
  *G                  *D
My skin is thick and my knees are weak
   *A              |D|
I'll run away for a kiss on the cheek, ow!
G D A G
Ooh ah (x2)
G                       D
I hate your smile but I like your teeth
    A                            G
Your heart is bright, oh will you run with me?
G                        D
My lipstick stains on the telephone booth
  A               |D|
My mama said to forget about you, ow!
G D A G
 G D A
Ooh ah (x2)

[Chorus]
D            Gbm         A
We packed our bags to get away
        D     Gbm            A
He said, "Babe, this gonna be easy
             D            Gbm
We'll be fine, we'll be okay
          A
I've got a van where we can stay
  D Gbm              A
But I don't need your maybes
*A
I need someone to dance with me, baby"
D Gbm A (x2)

[Verse 2]
*G             *D
Cut my hair and changed my face
   *A                 *G
I'm learnin' how to forget that place
*G              *D
Burned my name to find a new
   *A               |D|
And now they call me Lacy Loo, ow!
G D A G
Ooh ah (x2)
G                     D
We built our fort from sticks and stones
   A                    G
And now your words can't break our bones
G                         D
The trees are high and the rivers deep
A                  |D|
You've given me your heart to keep, ow!
G D A G
 G D A
Ooh ah (X2)

[Chorus]
D            Gbm         A
We packed our bags to get away
        D     Gbm            A
He said, "Babe, this gonna be easy
             D            Gbm
We'll be fine, we'll be okay
          A
I've got a van where we can stay
  D Gbm              A
But I don't need your maybes
*A
I need someone to dance with me, baby"
D Gbm A (x2)

[Outro]
       *G                       *D
Kept my head in the clouds and my skin still tough
      *A                      *G
But my knees aren't weak in the city of love
