Runaway
Am Em F C
Its been a long time since you left home
Am Em F C
It seems that all the rooms in this house have grown
Am Em F C
They’ve gotten darker, they’ve gotten cold
Dm Am G Dm Am G
And yeah I’ve made my mistakes, I’m very far from perfect
C Dm Am G
You said I’m acting different, I could not tell
C Dm Am G
Every time I tried to relate, I wasn’t doing well
C Dm Am G
You packed your things and said, today will be that day
Dm Am G Dm Am G
And then you ran out on me and left me cold and lonely
F Em Am Cmaj7
You ran away from here to a different place, its something I’ll just have
F Em Am Cmaj7 F
To face, you ran away, and I don’t know why, tell me why you couldn’t stay
Am Em F C
The words you said that night, came from an angry place
Am Em F C
On your way out you slammed that, that door right in my face
Am Em F C
Ran to the window, just saw your shadow fade away
Dm Am G Dm Am G
And yeah I’ve made my mistakes, I’m very far from perfect
C Dm Am G
Even though I’m home alone now, I’ll be OK
C Dm Am G
All my friends are out tonight, I’d rather go my way
C Dm Am G
The streets are empty now and lights are burning low
Dm Am G Dm Am G
But every step is forward, Yeah I’ll be moving onward
F Em Am Cmaj7
You ran away from here to a different place, its something I’ll just have
F Em Am Cmaj7 F
To face, you ran away, and I don’t know why, tell me why you couldn’t stay
