And the crowd

(Bb)came and (Cm)pulled you a (Ab)way and then you were gone.

(Eb)Oh,

yeah.

And I don’t e ven know your (Ab)name.

All I re mem ber is that smile on your (Eb)face.

And it will kill me ev ’ry (Ab)day

’cause I don’t e ven know your name.

Oh,

I see your face and it (Ab)kills me to (Eb)know

that you’ll nev er (Bb)know what you (Cm)did to (Ab)me and now you’re gone.

Yeah, (Eb)I can’t stop think ing ’bout you.

Yeah, I don’t e ven know your name.

I’m run ning, I’m search ing and I (G7)don’t know where to start.

I’m (Ab)dy ing, my love, you (Eb)punched a hole right through my heart.

And I won’t stop, stop look ing ’til I (G7)hold you in my arms.

’Cause I’m (Ab)run ning, I’m run ning, (Eb)I’m run ning.

I’m run ning, I’m search ing and I (G7)don’t know where to start.

I’m (Ab)dy ing, my love, you (Eb)punched a hole right through my heart.

And I won’t stop, stop look ing ’til I (G7)hold you in my arms.

’Cause I’m (Ab)run ning, I’m run ning, (Eb)I’m run ning.

And I don’t e ven know your (Ab)name.

All I re mem ber is that smile on your (Eb)face.

And it will kill me ev ’ry (Ab)day
