Runaway Akor

I've known it for a long time

Daddy wakes up to a drink at night

Disappearing all night

I don't wanna know where he's been lying

I know what I wanna do

I wanna runaway, runaway with you

 

Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go

 

 

How long you leavin'?

 

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

Em C*

Thumb on side of the roadway, but

 

 

I love him from the skin to my bones

 

But I don't wanna live in his home

Cm G#D#

There's nothing to say cause he knows

Em C* Em*

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

And this is what I'm gonna do

Gonna runaway, gonna make that move

 

Gonna grab clothes, and when it's mornin', go

 

 

How long you leavin'?

 

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

Em C*

Thumb on side of the roadway, but

 

 

I love him from the skin to my bones

 

But I don't wanna miss home

Cm G#D#

There's nothing to say cause he knows

Em C* Em*

I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm

 

 

Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back

Cause 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

Could be persuaded to hold up

 

And 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

Em Am*

With a backpack on my shoulder

 

 

I love him from the skin to my bones

 

But I don't wanna miss home

Cm G#D#

There's nothing to say cause he knows

Em C* Em*

I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
