E C#m I'm digging to the glove box G#m F# I thought I had a map in here E C#m The driver's door doesn't lock G#m F# I bought the car my junior year E C#m Those candy in my backpack G#m F# And you can pick a soundtrack E C#m We're headed from the East Coast tonight G#m F# So pack your bags and hold on tight E C#m G#m F# Cause we're taking off E C#m G#m F# We're taking off Chorus: E B Run away with me F# We're on the way to New York City E B G#m Take my hand and see F# Manhattan never looked so pretty E B Travel light and see the world right F# You'll never know if you never go, so E C#m G#m Run away with me F# B And say hello to New York City Feet up on the dashboard We're driving with the windows down Did you forget your phone cord? We'll buy one in the next small town Get dinner at an IHOP A shower at a truck stop We'll listen to some Johnny Cash Take my hand and don't look back 'Cause we're moving on We're moving on Chorus G#m F# E F# Run away, run away G#m F# E F# Run away, run away Chorus Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go, so Run away with me Stroll the midtown streets And tell me that you don't feel giddy Lady Liberty ain't throwing us a wink or is she? Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say, "Hello," to New York City Say, "Hello," to New York City Say, "Hello," to New York City You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB  C#m  E  F#  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
