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