Em
  I've known it for a long time
C                   G
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
Em
  Disappearing all night
C                        G
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
Em
  I know what I wanna do
        C            G           Em
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
                                  C        G
Gonna grab clothes, socks, in the morning, go

 Am  Em       G   D
"How long you leavin'?"
               Am              Em        G   D
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
            Am            Em      G    D
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
            Bm
It's been a long day
                    Em            C*
Come on side of the road way, but



                    Em                C  G
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em         Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Em                  C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C*   Em*
I'll just runaway in the overnight ohh, mmm




Em
  I've never seen my dad cry
C                    G
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
Em
  I tell you it's about time
C                   G
But I was raised to keep quiet
Em
  And this is what I'm gonna do
      C              G             Em
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
                                  C        G
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's morning, go




 Am  Em       G   D
"How long you leavin'?"
               Am              Em        G   D
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
            Am            Em      G    D
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
            Bm
It's been a long day
                    Em            C*
Come on side of the road way, but



                    Em                C  G
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em         Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Em                  C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C*   Em*
I'll just runaway in the overnight ohh, mmm




Em                                      C
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
                          G  Em
Cause I packed my clothes up
                                    C                    G
My dad puts a man with that plan to attack and turns the show up
Em
  I don't wanna live this way
      C                  G
Gonna take my things and go
Em
  If things change in a matter of days
      C               G       Am
Could be persuaded to hold up



                 Em
And mama was the same
               G
None of us are saints
                 D         Am
I guess the card knows that
                  Em
I don't wanna runaway
                 G                 D        Am
And one of these days I might just show that
                 Em
Put my home in a suitcase
       G             D
I roll shoelaces and hold that
Bm
 Things change but for now I leave town
       Em             Am*
with a backpack on my shoulder




                    Em                C  G
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em         Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Em                  C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C*   Em*
I'll just runaway in the overnight ohh, mmm




Have fun!
Christy
