Runaway Tabs

Mat Kearney

This is my tab for his new song Runaway. I know that this is not 100%, but
 there isn't a tab for it yet and I wanted to get the ball rolling. Please,
 if you think I tabbed anything wrong, write a comment. Also, the lyrics
 might be off somewhat. He has not officially released them yet. Thanks.

Verses
It has a 4/4 beat to it. Pretty simple pattern. The words that correspond to
 the chord changes from the first lines are as follows.

F#m       D        A        E
Tonight...Under....Which....This


Bridge
Same chord progression here. Hold D for transition to chorus

F#m                  D
Nobody knows the the trouble we've seen and
A                E
Nobody knows the price of this dream and
F#m                  D
Nobody knows what it took to believe, nobody

Chorus
                A
She wants to be free,
       F#m         D
Like a runaway, Aye Aye Aye
          A
Trying to believe,
         F#m             D
Going to find a way, Aye Aye Aye
       A        B#m
We got just one life,
               D               E
Tonight we are burning all the lights
                A      B#m
Trying to break free,
       D            E
Like a runaway, Aye Aye Aye

Play second half of intro for the transition

Verse

Chorus

Bridge 2:

F#m  D   A
Ohh, ohh ohh
F#m  D   A
Ohh, ohh ohh
             F#m      D            A
We're singin how'd we make it this far
F#m         D        A
Riding on a shooting star
                F#m          D        A
It's like we're flyin on the wings of God
                D E5 A     (I like to make an E or E5
She wants to be free       transition between the A & D)

Chorus (skip first line of lyrics, but still play A)

F#m                 D
Like a runaway, Aye Aye Aye....
