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