    C#m
You leave in the morning
     B
With everything you own
     F#m          E
In a little black case
 C#m
Alone on a platform
    B
The wind and the rain
     F#m            E
On a sad and lonely face

C#m               B
Mother will never understand
        F#m     E
Why you had to leave
        C#m
But the answers you seek
     B                 F#m E
Will never be found at home
    C#m
The love that you need
     B                 F#m E
Will never be found at home



    C#m                  B                    F#m   E
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
    C#m                  B                    F#m   E
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.


C#m               B
Pushed around and kicked around
         F#m      E
Always a lonely boy
C#m
You were the one
            B
That they'd talk about around town
        F#m       E
As they put you down

       C#m                B
And as hard as they would try
               F#m        E
They'd hurt to make you cry
        C#m            B
But you never cried to them
             F#m E
Just to your soul
       C#m            B
No you never cried to them
             F#m E
Just to your soul


    C#m                  B                    F#m   E
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
    C#m                  B                    F#m   E
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.      x2
