Am
I walked along the avenue
                                    G                                  
I never thought Id meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
Am
With auburn hair and tawny eyes 
                                   G
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through

[Chorus]
      F                  G
And I ran, I ran so far away
       F                        G 
I just ran, I ran all night and day
N.C.
I couldn’t get away

[Verse]
Am
A cloud appears above your head
                                      G
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
Am
The cloud is moving nearer still
                         G
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

[Chorus]
      F                  G
And I ran, I ran so far away
       F                        G 
I just ran, I ran all night and day
N.C.
I couldn’t get away

[Verse]
Am
Reached out a hand to touch your face
                                   G
You’re slowly disappearing from my view;
‘pearing from my view
Am
Reached out a hand to try again
                                     G 
I’m floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you

[Chorus]
      F                  G
And I ran, I ran so far away
       F                        G 
I just ran, I ran all night and day
      F                  G
And I ran, I ran so far away
       F                    G 
I just ran, I couldn’t get away
