Running Away - Cut song from Beetlejuice the Musical D
                                D7
Lydia: Mama i could use some wisdom,

                      G
Gotta make a big decision,

                         Gm
Go back where you don’t exist,

                       D
Or onwards into the abyss,

                             D7
I used so much to come this far,

                              G
Behind the dark, inside the stars,

                                      Gm
Now there’s a line to cross, a heavy cost,

                       Em7          Em
From here to where you are help me out,

     A                D
I’m lost without you, Standing,

                         A
Stuck on this impossible road,

                     Em
No idea which way to go,

                           G
Whichever path i choose, i lose y’know?

                 A          D
And i don’t know which ways home,

                        A
Daddy ran away from his pain,

                           Em
Do ya think i’m doing the same?

                             G
You won’t believe what i’m about to say,

            A      D
Maybe i’m running away,

 A
Ooh,

                      Em
Have i been running away?

    G
Oohooh,

D                        D7
You always saw life as a game,

                               G
But since you left it sucks to play,

            G
I’m beaten up and bruised,

  Gm                               D
Confused by rules that alter everyday,

                                       D7
I’ve been through things you won’t believe,

                      G
Invisible inside my grief,

                              Gm
I had to drag my dad through Hell and back,

               Em7             Em
But finally he sees, where to next?

       A                   D
You left, but i’m still standing,

                            A
Scared i’ll never see you again,

                                  Em
Amazed we’re finally saying your name,

                                   G
You won’t believe how far your daughter came,

                  A         D
But is this the wrong damn way?

                         A
Ma i got my heart in my hand,

                            Em
Maybe this is part of your plan,

                              G
To show my dad and i will be okay,

                A       D
But maybe i’m running away,

 A
Ooh,

                   Em
Am i just running away?

   G
Oohooh,

        G            G
The nothingness in front of us,

    G                  G
Is not what she would want for us,

                           Bm
Lydia and Charles: We’ll raise her up,

        Bm                    F
I will never stop saying her name,

                      A
Again and again and again,
(Spoken) Lydia: Let’s go home! Charles: That demon with the stupid hair is waiting for us What’re we gonna do? Lydia: Well, he’s a con-man; and the way to con a con-man is to give him what he wants. Charles: You mean marry him? Lydia: I’ve gotta do it. Charles: But Lydia, you’ll be bound to him for a lifetime! Lydia: Yeah. One lifetime. Charles: Oh. Oh. Lydia: He thinks he’s the ghost with the most, well, let’s make him think he’s right! *pause* Dad? promise we can talk about her. Charles: Anytime you want... E G (Sung)
                          C
Lydia: I’m gonna go back home!

                 Am                                  F

                  D
Tired of running away,

                     A                              Em
I was the invisible girl, now i see myself in the world,

                                G
I know you’ll understand why i can’t stay,
