Runaway Chords

capo 4
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
  I've known it for a long time
C                   D
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
Em
  Disappearing all night
C                        D
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
Em
  I know what I wanna do
        C           D           Em
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
                               C        D
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
                     Em           C
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
 
[Chorus]
 
                    Em                C  G   D
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em               C G   D
But I don't wanna live in his home
                   Em                  C G   D
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C   G    D
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
  I've never seen my dad cry
C                    D
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
Em
  I'll tell you it's about time
C                   D
But I was raised to keep quiet
Em
  And this is what I'm gonna do
      C              D             Em
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
                                  C        D
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
                     Em           C
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
 
[Chorus]
 
                    Em                C  G  D
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em         C G    D
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Em                  C G   D
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C   G    D
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em                                      C
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
                          D  Em
Cause I packed my clothes up
                                     C                  D
My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love
Em
  I don't wanna live this way
      C                  D
Gonna take my things and go
Em
  If things change in a matter of days
      C               D       Am
Could be persuaded to hold up
 
 
 
                 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 
       Em             D
With a backpack on my shoulder
 
 
 
 
                    Em                C  G     D
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Em         C G    D
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Em                  C G   D
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Em                   C   G    D   Em
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
