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