G


[Verse]
       G                                D7
I keep knockin' over whiskeys, no one's laughin’ at my jokes
                                             C              G
They got me spinnin' 'round in circle like a tin can in the spokes
                                     D7
When I left town this mornin' with a smile upon my face
                                   C              G
Oh, babe, I swear I never knew I'd end up in this place


[Chorus]
     Am         Am/G               D/F#       D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
     G                 Em                 C       D     G
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before


[Verse]
     G                                      D7
If I get back home to Houston, I'm goin’ to tip my hat and cry
                                    C                G
When I left I was a younger man too proud to say goodbye
                                         D7
I'm gonna wake up in the mornin’, with a conscience ten feet tall
                                         C                  G
I'm gonna to lay my head down wiser or I won't look down at all


[Chorus]
     Am         Am/G               D/F#       D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
     G                 Em                 C       D     G
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before

G   G   D7   D7   D7   D7   C    G   G


[Verse]
          G                            D7
I used to live out on the border where no one else could reach
                                   C            G
Now I can’t ask a question without you givin' a speech
                                  D7
You said I never cared, babe, you know that isn't true
                                              C                 G
It's just the only thing you ask of me is the one thing I can't do


[Chorus]
     Am         Am/G               D/F#       D
Run away little darling, you don't need me anymore
     G                 Em                 C             Am
I've been out here for too long, it ain't like it was before
     D                      C                G
Run away little darlin' and leave you with a smile
    G             Em             C       D    G
I'm knockin' over whiskeys and I will be for awhile
