Runaway

(intro 2x) E A E A

         E                     A
Alright, now take one look at me,
                E               A 
Cause it's the last you'll ever 
               E     A
see because I'm leaving
E       A
tonight.
           E                   
And just think about it, you'll 
  A                E
never have to be embarrassed,
                   A               
In front of your friends and family
   E     A
 again,
    E          A
so enjoy it.
         C
And the air will be better,
        C
It will feel much thinner.
           C
There will be no more excuses,
          C
And no more covering up your face.

         E            A
And I'm going to run away with my 
baby,
      E               A           
Get married and maybe someday 
        E   A
we'll have kids
A                  E          A
that you'll never meet.

        E                A        
And I'm gonna tell them stories of
         E                         
 how the grandpa would bathe in the
 A
 glory
           E       A
of all his power,
             E           A
And use his fake friends.

And see the air will be better,
        C
It will feel much thinner.
         C
It will feel like heaven.
         C
It will feel so good when I am gone.

( E A E A ) (2x)

           E                     A
Now see I don't know what you 
                  E
think, you're just a kid.
     A                             
Only 18, where do you think you're 
E      A     E     A
going?
            E              A
See, you've got nothing to stand on,
                 E              A
You don't have a better place to 
live.
                E     A
And you'll be wishing
                 E          A
that you never left.
       C
And the air will be thicker,
        C
It will be hard to breathe 
sometimes.
           C
You won't know what hit you,
          C
You'll be sad and lonely before you 
know it.

( E A E A )

     E                 A          
Now, don't go make a decision 
            E
that's going to leave your life down
 a
A                     E     A    
collision course of failure.
 E    A

              E                  
But you're a grown up now, you're 
   A
18.
            E           A         
Just don't come running back to me
               E          A
 when you need something,
           E     A
My door is locked.
         C
And the air will be humid,
        C
It will give you headaches.
        C
It will make you sweat.
        C
It will be a mistake if you go,

( E A E )

            A                 E
And I won't be there to cover up 
                 A
your tracks no more.

( E A )

E          A        E
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
           A
You can't scare me anymore.
    E        A              E
And I don't need this in my life,
         A
I don't need it anymore.
E          A        E
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
           A
You can't scare me anymore.
    E       A                E
And I don't need this in my life,
          A
I don't need it anymore.
  C
Goodbye.
