#Strings arranged for guitar
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 cold so 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 living sweaty 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 running away Oh Yeah
We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey hitchin' rides in the rain
You was happy talking dirty at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on getting wierder for us everyday
You say there is no perfect place I say I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile that's not easy to do
We both live for the day when we can run away
Oh Baby, we can leave and run away
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 running away
No I will never let 'em break your heart
No I will never let 'em break me
Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line
We got married in the desert in the sunshine
I can't handle all the hell that happens everyday
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
I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again
I know there's nothing perfect I know there nothing new
We are 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
We can leave and run away
We can leave this place and run away
We can leave this place and run away
We can leave this place and run away

next part in verse:

Chorus:
played in this manner:
why there is no perfect place
I say i know this is true
then
these chords 4x each
do all that twice, then this is the faster part:
that is all the riffs, you can sort them out yourself.
