Hi there! This is one of those songs that I want
to know the story behind. Is this about him? How
old was he? Honestly I don' t know a lot about Ed,
*ducks for cover*, lol ;)
This sounds good with the capo on 2 (click the transpose
arrow up 2 x's.) Those barre chords aren't my friends... :(

Am Em G D
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
Am Em G D
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
Bm
It's been a long day
Em C*
Come on side of the road way, but
Em C G
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
Em C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C* Em*
I'll just runaway in the overnight ohh, mmm
Em
I've never seen my dad cry
C G
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
Em
I tell you it's about time
C G
But I was raised to keep quiet
Em
And this is what I'm gonna do
C G Em
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
C G
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's morning, go

Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
G Em
Cause I packed my clothes up
C G
My dad puts a man with that plan to attack and turns the show up
Em
I don't wanna live this way
C G
Gonna take my things and go
Em
If things change in a matter of days
C G Am
Could be persuaded to hold up
Em
And mama was the same
G
None of us are saints
D Am
I guess the card knows that
Em
I don't wanna runaway
G D Am
And one of these days I might just show that
Em
Put my home in a suitcase
G D
I roll shoelaces and hold that
Bm
Things change but for now I leave town
Em Am*
with a backpack on my shoulder
Em C G
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
Em C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C* Em*
I'll just runaway in the overnight ohh, mmm
Have fun!
