[Verse 1]
        C
Little runaway,
      Em           Am
the worlds never easy
          C
You're so good at being
 Em          Am
down on yourself
        Dm
And the fog makes it
 C         G
 harder to see me
          Dm
You don't know where
    C             G
to reach out for help

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          F
Oh you're gold
        G
But you don't even
 C    C/B  F
 know it   yet
         F        G       C
We could go maybe both forget
[Chorus 1]
           Dm
Won't you come and
                       G
we can stare at the stars
                 C
And look at the comets
          G            Am
 from the roof of my car
G       Dm
Little runaway
                  G
 I know its been hard
                    C
You're tryin' your best
             G         Am  G
 but you keep fallin' apart

           F
There's a universe
     G
in front of us
      C        G          Am
That knows how small we are
G          Dm
Won't you come and we
                   G
can stare at the stars
                      C
From the roof of my car


[Verse 2]
          C              Em
You could hide from everyone
         Am
but I'd know you
         C       Em     Am
Put your pain on me any day
           Dm
Though you still have some
  C         G
 trauma to go through
             Dm
I'll make it easier for
 C              G
 you to see the way
