Here's the way I like to play this song. It's a very nice powerballard with 
tension that builds as it goes. 
Take note of the semi-tabbed part I put in at the end of the bridge. Enjoy!

Capo: 4

A E D - D A E x2

A           E                 D
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
  D         A              E
A blue eyed girl playing in the sand
    A           E              D
I'd been on her trail for a little while
    D            A                   E                     D
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand

            F#m
Teenage rush
        Bm
She said
                  Esus4
Ain't we all just runaways?
           D                   F#m
We got time but that ain't much

         Esus4         D
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
          E              F#m
You gotta know that this is real
      Dsus2      DMaj9(no 3)
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         F#m      G#m       A*     D
It's the one thing you can't choose
   E F#m D
Oh!

A        E             D
We got engaged on a friday night
  D            A            E
I swore on the head of our unborn child
     A            E                D
That I could take care of the three of us
    D            A               E                        D
But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild

                F#m  Bm
It's in my blood
                        Esus4
You said she might just runaway
              D               F#m
Somewhere else, someplace good

         Esus4         D
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
          E              F#m
You gotta know that this is real
      Dsus2      DMaj9(no 3)
Baby, why you wanna fight it?
         F#m      G#m       A* D
It's the one thing you can't do
             Esus2
Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose

                  A     E  D
Ain't we all just runaways?
                 D      A
I knew it when I met you
              E        A  E  D
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                 D       A
I knew it when I held you
                 E
I wasn't letting go

           C#m                          F#m
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
          D
Hold each other 'till the morning light
   A                     F#m
We used to laugh, now we only fight
E                     D 
Baby are you lonesome now?

(I tabbed the melody for the end of the bridge below, listen to the music for the rhythm)

           A         E            D
At night I come home after they go to sleep
       Dsus2     A         Esus4               
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls
          A          E           D
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
       Dsus2    A               Esus4                 D
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

         Esus4         D
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
                E         F#m
No we're caught up in the appeal
      Dsus2      DMaj9(no 3)
Baby, why you wanna hide it?
         E         F#m     Dsus2 DMaj9(no 3)
It's the last thing on my mind
  Esus4
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive 

         E7sus4 E7sus4  A   E   D
Ain't we all    just    runaways?
                 D      A
I knew it when I met you
              E        A  E  D
I'm not gonna let you runaway
                 D       A
I knew it when I held you
                 E
I wasn't letting go

        A  E  D
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
 D A   E  A    E D
Yeeeaah, runaways
 D A   E 
Yeeeaah

E F#m D
