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
[Refrain]
                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

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
[Refrain]
                  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

      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 
[Refrain]
                    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
