I've known it for a long time

Disappearing all night
E                             B

I want to runaway, runaway with you

I've never seen my dad cry
E                      B
Cold as stone, in the kitchen light
   G#m
I tell you it's about time
    E                 B
But I was raised to keep quiet
G#m
And this is what I'm gonna do
         E              B
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move

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

Verse
G#m
Back pack, and a flat cap, turned to the 
E                       B
Back Cause I packed my clothes up
G#m
My dad wasn't known with that plan to attack 
E           B
intends to show love
G#m
I don't wanna live this way
       E              B
Gonna take my things and go
G#m
If things change in a matter of days
     E                 B
Could be persuaded to hold up
C#m                 G#m
And mama was the same
                   B
None of us are saints
                  F#
I guess that God knows that
 C#m              G#m
I don't wanna runaway
                 B                 F#
And one of these days I might just show that
C#m                 G#m
Put my home in a suitcase
            B          F#
Tie both shoelaces, and hope that
 D#m                                            G#m            C#m
Things change, but for now I leave town with a backpack on my shoulder
Chorus
                         G#m           E  B
                                        | 
But I love him from the skin to my bones
                   G#m            C#mB
                                   | 
But I don't wanna live in this home
                    G#m             E  B
                                     | 
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              G#m                  C#mB
                                    |
