( verse 1 )
C#m A B
it’s been a long week , i’ve got a slow leak in my left front tire
C#m A B
i’m sick of where i work , my boss is such a jerk don’t care if i get fired
C#m A B
my back’s about to break , no money in the bank and she don’t call me anymore
F#m D
i’m down my last drink it’s time to sell my things
( chorus )
A C#m B A
and pack my bags and never look back run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
C#m B
and make my getaway
A C#m
i’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
B A
leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
C#m B C#m – A – B
and at the break of day , i’ll be a runaway
C#m A B
a hundred miles in , i’ve got a stupid grin on my scruffy face
C#m A B
with every cigarette , i’m burnin my regret don’t wanna leave a trace
C#m A B
and from my rear view , i’ve got a clear view of who i used to be
F#m D
a little bit faster now don’t wanna turn around
( chorus )
A C#m B A
and pack my bags and never look back run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
C#m B
and make my getaway
A C#m
i’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
B A
leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
C#m B C#m – A – B C#m – A – B
and at the break of day , i’ll be a runaway i’ll be a runaway
( bridge )
F#m E A
it’s crazy , i know , to count on this road to give me what i need
F#m E A B
but with every state line , somehow i find another part of me yea
( lead – C#m – A – B = 2x’s )
( chorus )
A C#m B A
i’m gonna pack my bags and never look back run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
C#m B
and make my getaway
A C#m
i’ll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
B A
leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
C#m B C#m – A – B C#m – A – B
and at the break of day , i’ll be a runaway i’ll be a runaway
C#m – A – B
i’ll be a runaway
