[Em]I've known it for a long time
[D]Daddy wakes up to a [G]drink at night
[Em]Disappearing all night
[C]I don't wanna know where [G]he's been lying
[Em]I know what I wanna do
I wanna [C]runaway, runa[G]way with you[Em]
Gonna grab clothes, six in the [C]mornin', [G]go
(Pre-Hook)
"[Am]How [Em]long you [G]lea[D]vin'?"
"Well dad just [Am]don't expect [Em]me back[G] [D]this evening."
Oh it could [Am]take a bit of [Em]time to [G]hea[D]l this
It's been a [B7]long day
Thumb on side of the [Em]roadway, but[C]
(Hook)
I love him from the [Em]skin to my bones[C] [G]
But I don't wanna [Em]live in his home[Am] [G]
There's nothing to [Em]say cause he knows[C] [G]
I'll just runa[C]way and be on my own [C]ohh, [Em]mmm

[Em]I've never seen my dad cry
[C]Cold as stone in the [G]kitchen light
[Em]I'll tell you it's about time
[C]But I was raised to [G]keep quiet
[Em]And this is what I'm gonna do
Gonna [C]runaway, gonna [G]make that move[Em]
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's [C]mornin', [G]go
(Pre-Hook)
"[Am]How [Em]long you [G]lea[D]vin'?"

[Em]Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the [C]back
Cause I packed my clothes [G]up[Em]
My dad wasn't down with that
plan to [C]attack, intends to show [G]love
[Em]I don't wanna live this way
Gonna [C]take my things and [G]go
[Em]If things change in a matter of days
Could [C]be persuaded to [G]hold up[Am]
And mama was the [Em]same
None of us are [G]saints
I guess that God [D]knows that[Am]
I don't wanna runa[Em]way
And one of these [G]days I might just [D]show that[Am]
Put my home in a [Em]suitcase
Tie both [G]shoe laces and [D]hope that
[B7]Things change but for now I'll leave town
With a [Em]backpack on my [C]shoulder

But I don't wanna [Em]live in his home[Am] [G]
There's nothing to [Em]say cause he knows[C] [G]
I'll just runa[C]way and be on my own [C]ohh, [Em]mmm
