Ed Sheeran - Runaway Chords

[intro] x4
G#m  E  B

[verse 1]
G#m
  I've known it for a long time
E                   B
Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine
G#m
  Disappearing all night
E                        B
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
G#m
  I know what I wanna do
        E            B           G#m
I wanna runaway, runaway with you
Gonna grab clothes, six in the
E        B
mornin', go

[pre-chorus]
 C#m  G#m       B   F#
"How long you leavin'?"
               C#m
"Well dad just don't expect me
 G#m        B   F#
back this evening."
            C#m
Oh it could take a bit of
G#m        B    F#
   time to heal this
            D#7
It's been a long day
                     G#m
Thumb on side of the roadway, but

[chorus]
                    G#m               E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  G#m              C#m B
But I don't wanna live in his home
                   G#m                E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              G#m
I'll just runaway and be on my own
 E    G#m
ohh, mmm

[verse 2]
G#m
  I've never seen my dad cry
E                    B
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
G#m
  I'll tell you it's about time
    E               B
But I was raised to keep quiet
G#m
  And this is what I'm gonna do
E              B             G#m
Runaway, gonna make that move
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's
E        B
mornin', go

[pre-chorus]
 C#m  G#m       B   F#
"How long you leavin'?"
               C#m
"Well dad just don't expect me
G#m          B   F#
   back this evening."
            C#m        G#m
Oh it could take a bit of
        B    F#
time to heal this
            D#7
It's been a long day
                     G#m
Thumb on side of the roadway, but

[chorus]
                    G#m              E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  G#m              C#m B
But I don't wanna live in his home
                   G#m                E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              G#m
I'll just runaway and be on my own
 E   G#m
ohh, mmm

[verse 3]
G#m                                      E
Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
                       B  G#m
As I packed my clothes up
My dad wasn't down with that plan to
E                  B
attack, intends to show love
G#m
  I don't wanna live this way
      E                  B
Gonna take my things and go
G#m
  If things change in a matter of days
      E               B       C#m
Could be persuaded to hold un
                 G#m
And mama was the same
               B
None of us are saints
                 F#         C#m
I guess that God knows that
                  G#m
I don't wanna runaway
                 B
And one of these days I might just
F#        C#m
  show that
                 G#m
Put my home in a suitcase
         B              F#
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
D#7
 Things change but for now I'll leave town
       G#m
With a backpack on my shoulder

[chorus]
                    G#m              E B
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  G#m               C#m B
But I don't wanna live in his home
                   G#m               E B
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              G#m
I'll just runaway and be on my own
ohh, mmm
