Verse:
Am G
you used to joke about how you were just a mess
Am G
some days you'd stay at home getting drunk all by yourself
Am G
and then we'd talk again for hours at a time
Am G
you used to tell me you would leave us all behind
Am C G
if I asked you, would you tell me why
Am C G
you left me standing in the cold
Am C G
if I asked you, would you tell me why
Am C G
you've been on the run so long
Verse: (Am / G)
always pictured you moving to the USA
I remember when you told me how badly you needed a getaway
well now you're gone, you're just not where I thought you'd be
today it's raining, and I sure wish you were here
Refrain: (Am / C / G)
if I asked you, would you tell me why
you left me standing in the cold
if I asked you, would you tell me why
you've been on the run so long
