Tom: Db
**Capo 4**
INTRO: F#m E D 2x
VERSE 1:
A D
I found a book that my mama kept
A D
Filled with secrets she hid
A E F#m E D E
And in a dusty old attic, one mornin' I read
A D
About a woman I never met
F#m E D
Who had dreams just like mine
E D E
With every page I turned, the words came alive
Chorus:
A D
Wish I could roll out of town like a runaway train
F#m E D
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
A E F#m A D E
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
F#m E D F#m E D
If I just had the chance
VERSE 2:
A D
A tear fell on that faded page
A D
Cause this was somebody else
A E F#m A D E
Not the Mama I knew who never thought of herself
A D
But the times, they were different then
F#m E D
And lines just didn't get crossed
A D E
And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost
Chorus:
A D
Wish I could roll out of town like a runaway train
F#m E D
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
A E F#m A D E
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
F#m E D F#m E D G D C E
If I just had the chance
VERSE 3:
A D
The chance that she never had
A D
Is now the gift that is mine
A E F#m A D E
And out here on this road, I'm makin' up for lost time
A D
Yeah, I am my mother's child
F#m E D
And tonight in this car
A D E
I got her words in my suitcase and her dreams in my heart
Chorus:
A D
As I roll out of town like a runaway train
F#m E D
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane
A E F#m A D E
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
F#m E D
While I still have the chance
A E F#m A D E
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance
F#m E D
While I still have the chance
