[Silence]
\n[Arrangement: Fast-Paced Piano Rock, Handclaps, Hammond Organ, Crowd Vocals]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\nReady or not!
\n(Have you forgot?)
\nHere I come!
\n(Better run)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nRunning through the backyard
\nRunning through the park
\nChasing after daylight
\nBefore it gets dark<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nTag!
\n(You’re it!)
\nCome play away today<\/p>\n

Tag!
\n(See me run!)
\nThe fun…
\n… in gettin’ away<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDodging through the corners
\nFlying down the lane
\nTurning every sidewalk
\nInto a runaway train<\/p>\n

One hand on your shoulder
\nChanges everything
\nNow you’re doing the chasing
\nAnd everybody sings<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nNobody stays “it”
\nFor very long
\nThe game keeps moving
\nRight along<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nTag!
\n(You’re it!)
\nCome play away today<\/p>\n

Tag!
\n(See me run!)
\nThe fun…
\n… in gettin’ away<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCatch me if you can
\n(Catch me if you can)
\nI’m already gone
\n(Already gone)<\/p>\n

Round the tree
\n(Around the bend)
\nThe chase goes on
\n(And on and on)<\/p>\n

Hey!
\n(Hey!)
\nHey!
\n(Hey!)<\/p>\n

Run!<\/p>\n

[Instrumental, Guitar Riff]<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nTag!
\n(You’re it!)
\nCome play away today
\nTag!
\n(See me run!)<\/p>\n

The fun…
\n… in gettin’ away<\/p>\n

Tag!
\n(You’re it!)
\nNow it’s your turn to play
\nTag!
\n(The game’s begun!)
\nThe fun…
\n… is playin’ anyway
\n(All is won)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTag!
\n(You’re it!)
\nTag!
\n(You’re it!)<\/p>\n

Come and play away today…
\n(Hey! Hey! Hey!)<\/p>\n
