G#m E B
G#m
I've known it for a long time
E B
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
G#m
Disappearing all night
E B
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
G#m
I know what I wanna do
E B G#m
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
E B
Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go
C#m G#m B F#
"How long you leavin' "
C#m G#m B F#
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
C#m G#m B F#
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
D#m
It's been a long day
Em C
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
G#m E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
G#m C#m B
But I don't wanna live in his home
G#m E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C Em
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
G#m
I've never seen my dad cry
E B
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
G#m
I'll tell you it's about time
E B
But I was raised to keep quiet
G#m
And this is what I'm gonna do
E B G#m
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
E B
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's mornin', go
C#m G#m B F#
"How long you leavin' "
C#m G#m B F#
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
C#m G#m B F#
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
D#m
It's been a long day
Em C
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
G#m E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
G#m C#m B
But I don't wanna miss home
G#m E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C Em
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
G#m E
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
B G#m
Cause I packed my clothes up
E B
My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love
G#m
I don't wanna live this way
E B
Gonna take my things and go
G#m
If things change in a matter of days
E B C#m
Could be persuaded to hold up
G#m
And mama was the same
B
None of us are saints
F# C#m
I guess that God knows that
G#m
I don't wanna runaway
B F# C#m
And one of these days I might just show that
G#m
Put my home in a suitcase
B F#
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
D#m
Things change but for now I'll leave town
Em Am
With a backpack on my shoulder
G#m E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
G#m C#m B
But I don't wanna miss home
G#m E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C Em
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
