[Em][C][G]
[Em][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I've known it for a long time
[C]Daddy wakes up [G]to a drink at nine
[Em]Disappearing all night
[C]I don’t wanna know w[G]here he's been lying
[Em]I know what I wanna do
Wanna [C]run away, [G]run away with you
[Em]Gonna grab clothes,
six in the [C]morn[G]ing, go

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]How [Em]long you l[G]eavi[D]ng?
Well, dad just [Am]don’t expect [Em]me back
this [G]eve[D]ning
Oh it could [Am]take a bit [Em]of time to he[G]al t[D]his
It’s been a [B]long day,
thumb on side of the [B]roadway, but

[Chorus 1]
I love him from my [Em]skin to my [C]bones[G]
But I don’t wanna [Em]live in his [Am]home[G]
There’s nothing to [Em]say 'cause he k[C]nows[G]
I’ll just run a[Em]way and be on my own [Am](own)[G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]I’ve never seen my dad cry
[C]Cold as stone [G]in the kitchen light
[Em]I'll tell you it's about time
But [C]I was raised t[G]o keep quiet
[Em]This is what I’m gonna do
Gonna [C]run away, [G]gonna make that move
[Em]Gonna grab clothes
and when it’s [C]morn[G]ing, go

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]How [Em]long you l[G]eavi[D]ng?
Well, dad just [Am]don’t expect [Em]me back
this [G]eve[D]ning
Oh it could [Am]take a bit [Em]of time to he[G]al t[D]his
It’s been a [B]long day,
thumb on side of the [B]roadway, but

[Chorus 2]
I love him from my [Em]skin to my [C]bones[G]
But I don’t wanna [Em]live in his [Am]home[G]
There’s nothing to [Em]say 'cause he k[C]nows[G]
I’ll just run a[Em]way and be on my own [Am](own)[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Backpack and a flat cap turned to the back[C]
As I packed [G]my clothes up
[Em]My dad wasn’t down with that
plan to at[C]tack, intends [G]to show love
[Em]I don’t wanna live this way
Gonna [C]take my things [G]and go, but
[Em]If things change in a matter of days
I could [C]be persuaded [G]to hold on

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]Mama was t[Em]he same
None of us are [G]saints,
I guess that [D]God knows that
[Am]I don’t wanna run [Em]away
And one of these [G]days I might [D]just show that
[Am]Put my home in a[Em] suitcase,
tie both [G]shoe laces, [D]and hope that
[B]Things change, but for now I'll leave town
with a [B]backpack on my... (shoulder)

[Chorus 3]
I love him from my [Em]skin to my [C]bones[G]
But I don’t wanna [Em]live in his [Am]home[G]
There’s nothing to [Em]say 'cause he k[C]nows[G]
I’ll just run a[Em]way and be on my own (own)
