Intro:
E A E A 2x

         E                     A
Alright, now take one look at me,

                E                A                E     A
Cause it's the last you'll ever see because I'm leaving

E       A
tonight.

           E                     A                E
And just think about it, you'll never have to be embarrassed,


                   A                  E     A
In front of your friends and family again,

    E          A
so enjoy it.

         C
And the air will be better,

        C
It will feel much thinner.

           C
There will be no more excuses,

          C
And no more covering up your face.


E A E A


         E            A
And I'm going to run away with my baby,

      E               A                   E   A
Get married and maybe someday we'll have kids

A                  E          A
that you'll never meet.


        E                A                 E                          A
And I'm gonna tell them stories of how the grandpa would bathe in the glory

           E       A
of all his power,

             E           A
And use his fake friends.


            C
And see the air will be better,

        C
It will feel much thinner.

         C
It will feel like heaven.

         C
It will feel so good when I am gone.


E A E A 2x


           E                     A                  E
Now see I don't know what you think, you're just a kid.

     A                             E      A     E     A
Only 18, where do you think you're going?

            E              A
See, you've got nothing to stand on,

                 E              A
You don't have a better place to live.

                E     A
And you'll be wishing

                 E          A
that you never left.

       C
And the air will be thicker,

        C
It will be hard to breathe sometimes.

           C
You won't know what hit you,

          C
You'll be sad and lonely before you know it.


E A E A

     E                 A                      E
Now, don't go make a decision that's going to leave your life down a

A                     E     A     E    A
collision course of failure.


              E                     A
But you're a grown up now, you're 18.

            E           A                        E          A
Just don't come running back to me when you need something,

           E      A
My door is locked.

         C
And the air will be humid,

        C
It will give you headaches.

        C
It will make you sweat.

        C
It will be a mistake if you go,


E A E

            A                 E                 A
And I won't be there to cover up your tracks no more.


E A

E          A        E
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,

           A
You can't scare me anymore.

    E        A              E
And I don't need this in my life,

         A
I don't need it anymore.

E          A        E
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,

           A
You can't scare me anymore.

    E       A                E
And I don't need this in my life,

          A
I don't need it anymore.

  C
Goodbye.
