Version 1
            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
