  Bm            A
You leave in the morning with everything you own
Em         D
In a little black case
 Bm           A
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
   Em   D
On a sad and lonely face

Bm A Em D

Bm        A
Mother will never understand
    Em     D
Why you had to leave
    Bm          A         Em  D
For the answers you seek will never be found at home
  Bm           A         Em D
The love that you need will never be found at home

  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Bm        A            Em     D
Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
Bm              A         Em
You were the one that they'd talk about around town
         D
As they put you down

    Bm         A          Em     D
And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry
     Bm      A         Em D
But you'd never cry to them, just to your soul
     Bm      A         Em D
No, you'd never cry to them, just to your soul

  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away


Solo: Bm A Em D

Cry boy, cry, cry boy, cry, cry boy
Cry boy, cry, cry boy, cry boy, cry, cry boy
Cry boy, cry, cry boy, cry boy, cry, cry boy
Cry boy, cry, cry boy, cry boy, cry


  Bm            A
You leave in the morning with everything you own
Em         D
In a little black case
 Bm           A
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
   Em   D
On a sad and lonely face


  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
  Bm          A          Em  D
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
