        Em         G 
Say I'm gonna run away tonight
      D                      C
Gonna sit down here and keep out of sight
Em         G                 D      D
 Leave her struggling on her own


         Em                   G
'Cos I'm not that strong like her you see
    D                    C
I'm not the man that I know I should be
Em         G              D         D
 I show my feathers and I run


         Em                       G
I better pull it together, better step up soon
          D                       C
'Cos I've gotta get ready for the baby boom
Em          G              D        D
 And tie my colours to the mast


          Em           
So I better put down the drink,
G
Take a minute to think
          C                            D
About the real world and what I should do
        Em
Would I run straight home
           G
Or keep on drinking alone
         C                  D
And just forget that I ever knew?


           C          G
If I am to change for you
     D                 Em      D
It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow
C   G        D
For you, for you
               C         G
And if I am to change my view
       D                  Em      D
With a different road and goal to follow.
C        G        D
It's for you. For you


Em                  G
Oh my boy you don't need to know,
     D                         C       
That daddy was a drunk 'cos he couldn't let go
Em      G             D          D
 Of his youth and reputation


     Em                         G
Just running round town like an unemployed clown
D                           C
Drinking to forget that his chips are down
Em        G              D       D
 Never realising what he had


           Em
So I better put down the drink,
       G
Take a minute to think
          C                            D
About the real world and what I should do
       Em    
Would I run straight on
           G
Or keep on drinking alone
          C                 D
And just forget that I ever knew?


                C          G
For, if I am to change for you
     D                 Em      D
It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow
C   G        D
For you, for you
               C         G
And if I am to change my view

It's for you. For you


D                           C        G
You come around like it was some big sacrifice
D                        C           G
Who ever told you that I needed your advice?
D                             C                   G
Oh you should crawl back from where you once came
