 Chords used:
Five  miles outside of Vegas  when we broke down
 Threw my keys inside the window  and we never looked back
 Got all drunk and sloppy  on a greyhound  bus
 We passed out, all them losers  they were laughing at us
 I will never let them break your heart
 No I will never let them break me
We  got lost in phoenix, seemed  like such a long time
 Seven months of livin' swimming  on those thin white lines
 Did some time for selling acid  to the wrong guy
 Life just keeps on getting smaller  and we never ask why
 Why there is no perfect place,  yes I know this is true
 I'm just learning how to smile
 Thats not easy to do
 I know there will come a day
 When we can leave and just go runnin'  away
We  was broke outside of Philly  when the storms came
 I was working in New Jersey,  hitchin' rides in the rain
 We was happy talkin' dirty  at that phone sex place
 Life just keeps on getting weirder  for us every day
 You say there is no perfect place,  I say I know this is true
 I'm just learning how to smile
 Thats not easy to do
 We both live for the day
 When we can run away
 Oh baby we can leave and run away
 Yes we can leave this place and run away
 We can leave it all behind like we do every time
 Yes we both live for the day
 When we can leave and just go runnin' away
 No I will never let it break your heart
 No I will never let it break me
Five  miles outside of Vegas,  five years down the line
 We got married in the desert  and the sunshine
 I can't handle all the hell  that happens every day
When  you smile and touch my face
 You make  it all just go away
 Yes I know there ain't no finish  line, I know this never ends
 But I'm just learning how to fall,  climb back up again
 I know there is nothing perfect,  I know there is nothing new
 I'm just learning how to live  together, me and you
 You know I live for the day
 When you say baby lets just run away
 Oh baby we can leave and run away
 Yes we can leave this place and run away
 Baby we can leave and run away
 We can leave this place and run away
