Intro - C#m - A - B = 2x's



(verse 1)
             C#m                    A               B
It's been a long week, I've got a slow leak In my left front tire 
             C#m                      A                        B
I'm sick of where I work, my boss is such a jerk Don't care if I get fired 
           C#m                      A                         B
My back's about to break, no money in the bank And she don't call me anymore
        F#m                           D
I'm down my last drink It's time to sell my things 



(chorus)
     A               C#m                      B                                A
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks 
    C#m        B
And make my getaway 
               A                       C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down 
         B                                     A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight 
C#m                     B                  C#m - A - B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway 

            C#m             A                      B
A hundred miles in, I've got a stupid grin On my scruffy face 
            C#m             A                      B
With every cigarette, I'm burnin my regret Don't wanna leave a trace
             C#m             A                      B 
And from my rear view, I've got a clear view Of who I used to be 
          F#m                            D
A little bit faster now Don't wanna turn around 


(chorus)
     A               C#m                      B                                A
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks 
    C#m        B
And make my getaway 
               A                       C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down 
         B                                     A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight 
C#m                     B                  C#m - A - B                C#m - A - B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway          I'll be a runaway



(bridge)
     F#m                  E                   A
It's crazy, I know, to count on this road To give me what I need 
          F#m                 E             A             B
But with every state line, somehow I find Another part of me YEA


(Lead - C#m - A - B = 2x's)




(chorus)
           A               C#m                      B                                A
I'm gonna pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks 
    C#m        B
And make my getaway 
               A                       C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down 
         B                                     A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight 
C#m                     B                  C#m - A - B                C#m - A - B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway          I'll be a runaway
              C#m - A - B
I'll be a runaway
