Em C B7
[Verse 1]
Em
I've known it for a long time
C B7
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
Em
Disappearing all night
C B7
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
Em
I know what I wanna do
C B7 Em
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
C B7
Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go
[Pre-Chorus]
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
B7
It's been a long day
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
[Chorus]
Em C B7
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em C B7
But I don't wanna live in his home
Em C B7
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C B7
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
[Verse 2]
Em
I've never seen my dad cry
C B7
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
Em
I'll tell you it's about time
C B7
But I was raised to keep quiet
Em
And this is what I'm gonna do
C B7 Em
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
C B7
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's mornin', go
[Pre-Chorus]
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
B7
It's been a long day
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
[Chorus]
Em C B7
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em C B7
But I don't wanna live in his home
Em C B7
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C B7
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
[Verse 3]
Em C
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
B7 Em
As I packed my clothes up
C B7
My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love
Em
I don't wanna live this way
C B7
Gonna take my things and go
Em
If things change in a matter of days
C B7
Could be persuaded to hold up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am Em
And mama was the same
G
None of us are saints
D Am
I guess that God 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
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
B7
Things change but for now I'll leave town
With a backpack on my shoulder
[Chorus]
Em C B7
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em C B7
But I don't wanna live in his home
Em C B7
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C B7
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
