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... :( STANDARD TUNING w/ CAPO ON 4 Intro– Em C G Em C G Em C G Em C G Em I've known it for a long time C G Daddy wakes up to a drink at night Em Disappearing all night C G I don't wanna know where he's been lying Em I know what I wanna do C G Em I wanna runaway, runaway with you C G Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go Am Em G D "How long you leavin'?" 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* Thumb on side of the roadway, but Em C G I love him from the skin to my bones Em Am G But I don't wanna live in his home Em C G There's nothing to say cause he knows Em C* Em* I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm Em I've never seen my dad cry C G Cold as stone in the kitchen light Em I'll 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 mornin', go Am Em G D "How long you leavin'?" 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* Thumb on side of the roadway, 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 and be on my own ohh, mmm Em C Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back G Em Cause I packed my clothes up C G My dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show love 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 that God 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 Tie both shoe laces and hope that Bm Things change but for now I'll 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 and be on my own ohh, mmm Have fun!
