Am          G           F           Am
I've heard stories and tales about puppets and whales
                G          F G
but never heard stories of you.
         Am        G             F             Am 
I've not seen you around in this quiet part of town.
                G                F  G
You've shown up right out of the blue.


    Am   G    F           G
And I've been waiting for someone
   Am         G         F                G          Am G  
to share my adventures, you seemed quite perfect to me dear,
F         G            Am               G          F G 
and did I mention that you seemed quite perfect to me.


(Chorus)
        Am            G
So come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
     Am            G   
Come running, come running
        F           G 
through rivers with me.
        Am            G
Oh come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
      Am             G            F G      
We'll show them what living should be.


(Verse 2)

       Am         G            F            Am
We are pirates at sea with our world at our feet.
           G             F  G
Sailing on waves made of stars.
      Am           G                 F             Am
A princess needs a friend, where the laughter won't end.
                         G              F G
That's worth more than a prince who can charm.


    Am   G    F             G           Am           G
And I've been searching for someone who makes life a story, 
    F              G          Am  G
and you seem quite perfect to me, dear.
F           G         Am             G          F G
You wont be sorry but you seem quite perfect to me.

(Chorus)
        Am            G
So come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
     Am            G   
Come running, come running
        F           G 
through rivers with me.
        Am            G
Oh come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
      Am             G            F G      
We'll show them what living should be.


   Am        G           F       Dm
If things go wrong we'll just rewrite them
 Am              G               F            G
(running, you're running, you're running with me).
       Am     G          F         G
And if demons call we'll stand and fight them.
Am              G               F           Dm G    
Running, you're running, you're running with me.


(Chorus)
        Am            G
Come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
     Am            G   
Come running, come running
        F           G 
through rivers with me.
        Am            G
Oh come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
     Am            G   
Come running, come running
        F           G 
through rivers with me.
        Am            G
Come running, come running,
     F               G
come running through rivers.
      Am             G            F G      
We'll show them what living should be.


              Am          G           F           Am
They've heard stories and tales about puppets and whales,
                     G          F
and now they'll hear stories of you.
