 Figure out the strumming
 2x
 Alright, now  take one look at me,
 Cause it's the last  you'll ever see  because I'm leaving
tonight.
 And just think  about it, you'll never  have to be embarrassed,
 In front of your friends  and family again,
 so enjoy  it.
 And the air  will be better,
 It will feel  much thinner.
 There will be  no more excuses,
 And no more  covering up your face.
 And I'm going  to run away  with my baby,
 Get married  and maybe someday  we'll have kids
that  you'll never meet.
 And I'm gonna  tell them stories  of how the grandpa  would bathe in the glory
 of all his power,
 And use his fake  friends.
 And see the air  will be better,
 It will feel  much thinner.
 It will feel  like heaven.
 It will feel  so good when I am gone.
 2x
 Now see I don't  know what you think,  you're just a kid.
 Only 18,  where do you think you're going?
 See, you've got  nothing to stand  on,
 You don't have a better  place to  live.
 And you'll be wishing
 that you never left.
 And the  air will be thicker,
 It will be  hard to breathe sometimes.
 You won't know  what hit you,
 You'll be sad  and lonely before you know it.
 Now, don't  go make a decision  that's going to leave  your life down a
collision  course of failure.
 But you're a grown  up now, you're 18.
 Just don't come  running back  to me when you need something,
 My door is locked.
 And the air  will be humid,
 It will give  you headaches.
 It will make  you sweat.
 It will be  a mistake if you go,
 And I won't be  there to cover up  your tracks no more.
Dad,  I'm leaving  tonight,
 You can't scare  me anymore.
 And I  don't need  this in my life,
 I don't need  it anymore.
Dad,  I'm leaving  tonight,
 You can't scare  me anymore.
 And I  don't need  this in my life,
 I don't need  it anymore.
 Goodbye.
 I'm 95% this is correct.
 Figure out the strumming yourself. and go buy the record it's really really good!!

Figure out the strumming

[E] [A] [E] [A] 2x

Alright, [E]now take one look at m[A]e,

Cause it's the l[E]ast you'll ever s[A]ee because I'm le[E]aving [A]

[E]tonight.[A]

And just th[E]ink about it, you'll n[A]ever have to be e[E]mbarrassed,

In front of your fr[A]iends and family ag[E]ain,  [A]

so e[E]njoy it.   [A]

And the a[C]ir will be better,

It will [C]feel much thinner.

There will [C]be no more excuses,

And no mor[C]e covering up your face.

[E] [A] [E] [A]

And I'm g[E]oing to run a[A]way with my baby,

Get ma[E]rried and maybe [A]someday we'll have k[E]ids [A]

[A]that you'll never m[E]eet.       [A]

And I'm [E]gonna tell them s[A]tories of how the [E]grandpa would bathe in the [A]glory

of all his [E]power,  [A]

And use his f[E]ake friends.[A]

And see the [C]air will be better,

It will [C]feel much thinner.

It will f[C]eel like heaven.

It will f[C]eel so good when I am gone.

[E] [A] [E] [A] 2x

Now see I d[E]on't know what you thi[A]nk, you're just a k[E]id.

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

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

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

And you'll be wi[E]shing [A]

that you never le[E]ft.        [A]

And the[C] air will be thicker,

It will [C]be hard to breathe sometimes.

You won't k[C]now what hit you,

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

[E] [A] [E] [A]

Now, [E]don't go make a de[A]cision that's going to [E]leave your life down a

[A]collision course of fa[E]ilure.[A]      [E]           [A]

But you're a g[E]rown up now, you're 18[A].

Just don't c[E]ome running [A]back to me when you need [E]something, [A]

My door is [E]locked.[A]

And the a[C]ir will be humid,

It will [C]give you headaches.

It will [C]make you sweat.

It will [C]be a mistake if you go,

[E] [A] [E]

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

[E] [A]

[E]Dad, I'm le[A]aving ton[E]ight,

You can't s[A]care me anymore.

And [E]I don't n[A]eed this in my [E]life,

I don't n[A]eed it anymore.

[E]Dad, I'm le[A]aving ton[E]ight,

You can't s[A]care me anymore.

And [E]I don't [A]need this in my l[E]ife,

I don't ne[A]ed it anymore.

Go[C]odbye.

I'm 95% this is correct.

Figure out the strumming yourself. and go buy the record it's really really good!! [Chino]
