show your feathers and run Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][D][F][Am][A][Am][D][Am]
Say I'm gonna run [C]away tonight
Gonna [G]sit down here and keep
[F]out [Am]of sight
Leave [C]her struggling [G]on her own

[Verse 2]
'Cos I'm [Am]not that strong
like [C]her you see
I'm [G]not the man that I [F]know I should [Am]be
I show my [C]feathers and I run

[Verse 3]
[G]I better pul[Am]l it together,
better [C]step up soon
'Cos I've [G]gotta get ready
for the [F]baby boom
[Am]And tie my colou[C]rs to the mast

[Verse 4]
[G]So I better put[Am] down the drink,
Take a minute to think
[C]About the rea[F]l world
and what I should [G]do
Would I [Am]run straight home
Or keep on [C]drinking alone
And just for[F]get that I ever [G]knew?

[Verse 5]
[G]If I am to [F]change for [C]you
It's [G]gonna be a bitter pill to swal[F]low
[C]For you, [G]for you
And if I am to [F]change my [C]view
With a [G]different road and [Am]goal to [G]follow.
[F]It's for[C] you. For you

[Verse 6]
[Am]Oh my boy you don't ne[C]ed to know,
That [G]daddy was a drunk 'cos
he [F]couldn't [Am]let go
Of [C]his youth and reputa[G]tion

[Verse 7]
Just [Am]running round town like an
[C]unemployed clown
[G]Drinking to forget that his
[F]chips [Am]are down
Never real[C]ising what he [G]had

[Verse 8]
So I better [Am]put down the drink,
Take a [C]minute to think
About the [F]real world
and what I should [G]do
Would I [Am]run straight on
Or keep on [C]drinking alone
And just for[F]get that I ever [G]knew?

[Verse 9]
For, [G]if I am to [F]change for [C]you
It's [G]gonna be a bitter pill to swallow
[F]For you[C], for you[G]
And if I am [F]to change my [C]view
With a [G]different road and [Am]goal to [G]follow.
[F]It's for[C] you. For you
[D]

[Verse 10]
[G]You come around like it
[F]was some big sacrifice
[C]Who[G] ever told you that
I [F]needed your advice?
[C]Oh [G]you should crawl back from
[F]where you once [C]came[D]
Whoever told you...?

[Verse 11]
[D]That [G]if I am [F]to change for [C]you
It's [G]gonna be a bitter
[Am]pill to [G]swallow[F]
For [C]you. For [G]you
And if I am [F]to change my [C]view
With a [G]different road and goal to follow
[F]It's for you[C]. For you[G]

[Verse 12]
And if I am to [F]change for [C]you
It's [G]gonna be a bitter [Am]pill to [G]swallow
[F]For you[C]. For[G] you
If I am to [F]face this [C]world
It's [G]gonna be a different [Am]road to [G]follow
[F]For[C] you. For you
