Verse:
Amyou used to joke about how Gyou were just a mess
Amsome days you'd stay at home getting Gdrunk all by yourself
Amand then we'd talk again for Ghours at a time
Amyou used to tell me you would Gleave us all behind
Refrain:
        Amif I asked you, would you Ctell me Gwhy
        you Amleft me standing in the CcoldG  
        Amif I asked you, would you Ctell me Gwhy
        Amyou've been on the run Cso longG  
Verse: ( Am/ G)
always pictured you moving to the USA
I remember when you told me how badly you needed a getaway
well now you're gone, you're just not where I thought you'd be
today it's raining, and I sure wish you were here
Refrain: ( Am/  C/ G)
        if I asked you, would you tell me why
        you left me standing in the cold
        if I asked you, would you tell me why
        you've been on the run so long
