|G#m    |E    2nB    |G#m    |E    2nB    |
|G#m    |E    2nB    |G#m    |E    2nB    |

|G#m                             |E             2nB                 |
   I've known it for a long time, daddy wakes up to a drink at nine
|G#m                      |E                 2nB                    |
   Disappearing all night, I don’t wanna know where he's been lying
|G#m                            |E        2nB                |
   I know what I wanna do, wanna run away, run away with you
|G#m                             |E     2nB   |
   Gonna grab clothes, six in the morning, go

|C#m  2nG#m     |B   2nF#                  |C#m         2nG#m         |B   2nF#   |
 How   long you lea- ving? Well, dad just don’t expect me back this eve- ning
           |C#m       2nG#m       |B   2nF#   |
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
           |D#7                           |D#7         |
It’s been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

                  |G#m             |E   2nB                  |G#m             |E   2nB   |
I love him from my skin to my bones,       but I don’t wanna live in his home
                  |G#m                |E   2nB               |G#m                 |E   2nB   |
There’s nothing to say 'cause he knows,       I’ll just run away and be on my own

|G#m                          |E            2nB                   |
   I’ve never seen my dad cry, cold as stone in the kitchen light
|G#m                                 |E           2nB            |
   I'll tell you it's about time, but I was raised to keep quiet
|G#m                               |E        2nB                   |
   This is what I’m gonna do, gonna run away, gonna make that move
|G#m                               |E   2nB       |
   Gonna grab clothes and when it’s mor- ning, go

|C#m  2nG#m     |B   2nF#                  |C#m         2nG#m         |B   2nF#   |
 How   long you lea- ving? Well, dad just don’t expect me back this eve- ning
           |C#m       2nG#m       |B   2nF#   |

It’s been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

                  |G#m             |E   2nB                  |G#m             |E   2nB   |
I love him from my skin to my bones,       but I don’t wanna live in his home
                  |G#m                |E   2nB               |G#m                 |E   2nB   |
There’s nothing to say 'cause he knows,       I’ll just run away and be on my own

|G#m                                    |E                2nB            |
   Backpack and a flat cap turned to the back, as I packed my clothes up
|G#m                                    |E             2nB           |
   My dad wasn’t down with that plan to attack, intends to show love
|G#m                                 |E             2nB          |
   I don’t wanna live this way, gonna take my things and go, but
|G#m                                            |E           2nB         |
   If things change in a matter of days, I could be persuaded to hold on

|C#m   2nG#m                         |B                   2nF#            |
   Mama was the same, none of us are saints, I guess that God knows that
|C#m            2nG#m                       |B           2nF#            |
   I don’t wanna run away, and one of these days I might just show that
|C#m          2nG#m                    |B          2nF#           |
   Put my home in a suitcase, tie both shoe laces, and hope that
|D#7                                                |D#7                    |
   Things change, but for now I'll leave town with a backpack on my shoulder

                  |G#m             |E   2nB                  |G#m             |E   2nB   |
I love him from my skin to my bones,       but I don’t wanna live in his home
                  |G#m                |E   2nB               |G#m                 |
There’s nothing to say 'cause he knows,       I’ll just run away and be on my own
