1ST verse:  


     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

2nd Verse:  


  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

               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                     G   
for the parts that we couldn't change  




 C    F     C         G  
Pictures, dishes 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  
                      I was already gone 

     C   F   C         G  
And layout late with a boy  
                      I was already gone 

 Am          G                     C          G  
Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train  
                           I was already gone. 

    C           F       C             G  
My mama mapped out the road that she knows  
      His dark eyes dared me with danger 

  C             F        C             G  
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold  
       And Sparks fly like flame to a paper 

          Am           
In my hand-me-down Mercury  
    Fire in his touch 

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