     C                  F
My Mama mapped out the road that she knows 

   C                         G
Which hands you shake and which hands you hold 
 
       C                     F
In my hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll 


 C                      G
She knew that I had to go

     C    F    C            G
and hangout, make lots of noise 

     C    F    C        G
and lay out late with a boy 

 Am                          G
Make the mistakes that she made 'cause 
  

             F          G

                C      F
I was already gone

I was already gone

                Am
I was already gone
 
 G                 C                        G
Life is a runaway train u cant wait to jump on

  C                      F
They say the first time wont ever last
  
    C                      G
but that didnt stop me the first time he laughed
  
      
         C                           F
all my friends tried to warn me the day that we met

         C    F     C          G
but his dark eyes dared me with danger
 
      C    F        C          G
and sparks fly like flame to a paper
 
Am                        G
fire in his touch burning me up
 
                F         G
but Still I held on

life is a runaway train you cant wait jump on





Bridge:



      F                   G                C
The last time I say him, we packed up my things
          F                            G
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
         F                    G            C
And we cried with each other We split the blame 
           F                     F 
for the parts that we couldn't change




 C    F     C         G
Pictures, dished and socks

           C     F     C         G
It's our whole life down to one box 

  Am                   G                         F       G
There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone


                    C     F
But I was already gone

                C       G
I was already gone

               Am      G
I was already gone

                F       G
I was already gone

                C
I was already gone





 C  F     C            G
Hangout, make lots of noise

     C   F   C         G
And layout late with a boy

 Am          G                     C          G
Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train


    C           F       C             G
My mama mapped out the road that she knows

  C             F        C             G
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold

          Am         
In my hand-me-down Mercury

  C          F      C                          G
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
