Intro - C#m - A - B = 2x's



(verse 1)
             B
It's been a long week, I've got a slow leak In my left front tire
             B
I'm sick of where I work, my boss is such a jerk Don't care if I get fired
           B
My back's about to break, no money in the bank And she don't call me anymore
        D
I'm down my last drink It's time to sell my things

(chorus)
     A
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
    B
And make my getaway
               C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
         A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway

            B
A hundred miles in, I've got a stupid grin On my scruffy face
            B
With every cigarette, I'm burnin my regret Don't wanna leave a trace
             B
And from my rear view, I've got a clear view Of who I used to be
          D
A little bit faster now Don't wanna turn around


(chorus)
     A
And pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
    B
And make my getaway
               C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
         A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway          I'll be a runaway



(bridge)
     A
It's crazy, I know, to count on this road To give me what I need
          B
But with every state line, somehow I find Another part of me YEA


(Lead - C#m - A - B = 2x's)




(chorus)
           A
I'm gonna pack my bags and never look back Run a parallel line with the railroad tracks
    B
And make my getaway
               C#m
I'll put the pedal to the metal as the sun goes down
         A
Leave everyone sleepin in this sleepy town tonight
B
   And at the break of day,  I'll be a runaway          I'll be a runaway
              B
I'll be a runaway
