Well, this song was released this morning and I haven't stopped listening to it 
since, so thought I might as well jot down the chords as I listened!  

It's my first tab, but I reckon it's pretty accurate.  You decide. 

So here goes.

CAPO 1

[Intro] 
  
   (x2)

[Verse] 
            
Blonde hair bl

            
owing in the s

ummer wind,
             
The blue-eyed 

            
girl playing i

   
n the sand,
             
I'd been on he

             
r trail for a 


little while,
             
But that was t

             
he night that 

             
she broke down

             
 and held my h


and.

[Bridge]
        
Teenage rush, 

she said,
           
Ain't we all j

    
ust runaways?
            
We got time, b

              
ut that ain't 


much,
             
We can't wait.

         
..till tomorro

w.

[Pre-Chorus]
             
You gotta know

              
 that this is 

            --    
real baby,
             
Why you wanna 


fight it?
            
It's the one t

             
hing you can't

            --     
 choose.
      
Oh!

[Verse] 
            
We got engaged

        
 on a Friday n

ight,
             
I swore on the

            
 head of our u

   
nborn child,  

  
             
That I could t

             
ake care of th

  
e three of us,
             
But I got the 

            
tendency to sl

              
ip when the ni

        
ghts get wild.

[Bridge]
           
It's in my blo

od,
           
She said she m

          
ight just runa

way       
            
Somewhere else

             
, some place g

ood,
             
We can't wait.

         
..till tomorro

w.

[Pre-Chorus]
          G (3rd fret)      A (5th fret)
You gotta know that this is real baby,
             
Why you wanna 


fight it?
            
It's the one t

             
hing you can't

 
 choose,
             G (3rd fret)
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose...

[Chorus]
              
Ain't we all j

There's a pict
