You’re out late every weekend
D                                              G

And talk is cheap when the story is good

Not for a minute
Am                                         D    Dsus4 D
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

You’re thinking up your white lies

You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
D                                            G     Gadd9  G
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when

But I can feel it comin'
C
If you leave tonight keep runnin'
D                                G     G*  F#*
And you need never look back a - gain
