Capo 1
[Intro]
C, F, C, G 2X
[Verse 1]
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
she knew all along
[Chorus]
C F
I was already gone
C G
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, C, G 2X
[Verse 2]
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 G
girl dont u lose your heart yet
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
[Chorus]
C F
cuz I was already gone
C G
I was already gone
Am
I was already gone
G C G
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
C, F, C, G
