Em G D D 

        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 
       D                  Em      D 
With a different road and goal to follow. 
C        G        D      Dsus2      
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 
Asus2           A7 
Whoever told you...? 


                C          G 
That 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 

               C          G 
And if I am to change for you 
     D                 G       D 
It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow 
C   G        D 
For you. For you 
           C         G 
If I am to face this world 
     D                    Em      D 
It's gonna be a different road to follow 
C   G        D 
For you. For you
