G#m I've known it for a long time E B Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine G#m Disappearing all night E B I don't wanna know where he's been lying G#m I know what I wanna do E B G#m I wanna runaway, runaway with you E B Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go C#m G#m B F# "How long you leavin'?" C#m G#m B F# "Well dad just don't expect me back this evening." C#m G#m B F# Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this D#7 It's been a long day Thumb on side of the roadway, but Chorus: G#m E B I love him from the skin to my bones G#m C#m B But I don't wanna live in his home G#m E B There's nothing to say cause he knows G#m E G#m I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm I've never seen my dad cry Cold as stone in the kitchen light I'll tell you it's about time But I was raised to keep quiet This is what I'm gonna do Gonna runaway, gonna make that move Gonna grab clothes and when it's morning, go "How long you leaving?" Well, Dad just don't expect me back this evening Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this It's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but Chorus Backpack and a flat cap turned to the back As I packed my clothes up My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack Intends to show love I don’t wanna live this way Gonna take my things and go If things change in a matter of days I could be persuaded to hold on Mama was the same None of us are saints, I guess that God knows that I don't wanna runaway And one of these days, I might just show that Put my home in a suitcase Tie both shoe laces, and hope that Things change, but for now I'll leave town With a backpack on my shoulder Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  D#7  E  F#  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
