  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Intro -x4-: Abm  E B

Abm
  I've known it for a long time
E                   B              
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
Abm
  Disappearing all night
E                        B                        
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
Abm
  I know what I wanna do
        E            B           Abm
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
                               E        B
Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go


 Dbm  Abm       B   Gb
"How long you leavin'?"
               Dbm              Abm        B   Gb
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
            Dbm            Abm      B    Gb
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
            Ebm
It's been a long day
                     Abm           E 
Thumb on side of the roadway, but


                    Abm                E  B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Abm               Dbm B
But I don't wanna live in his home
                   Abm                  E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Abm                   E    Abm 
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm


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


 Dbm  Abm       B   Gb
"How long you leavin'?"
               Dbm              Abm        B   Gb
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
            Dbm            Abm      B    Gb
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
            Ebm
It's been a long day
                     Abm           E 
Thumb on side of the roadway, but


                    Abm                E  B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Abm         Dbm B
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Abm                  E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Abm                   E    Abm 
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm


Abm                                      E
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
                          B  Abm
Cause I packed my clothes up
                                     E                  B      
My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love
Abm
  I don't wanna live this way
      E                  B  
Gonna take my things and go
Abm
  If things change in a matter of days
      E               B       Dbm
Could be persuaded to hold up


                 Abm
And mama was the same
               B
None of us are saints
                 Gb         Dbm
I guess that God knows that
                  Abm
I don't wanna runaway
                 B                 Gb        Dbm
And one of these days I might just show that
                 Abm
Put my home in a suitcase
         B              Gb        
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
Ebm                       
 Things change but for now I'll leave town 
       Abm             Dbm 
With a backpack on my shoulder


                    Abm                E  B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Abm         Dbm B
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Abm                  E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Abm                   E    Abm 
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
