Intro: D A Bm G 

D 
I’m leaving 
           A 
Words fall out my mouth 
And onto the floor 
    Bm 
I’m needing 
   G                         A 
To pack up my bags and walk right out the door 

        D 
This is goodbye 
         A 
I’ll roll the windows down 
My old Chevrolet 
C 
Don’t know where I’m going 
       G 
I just know that I can’t stay 

                 D 
Might make it to Memphis 
                     A 
If that ain’t far enough 
                    C 
I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri 
    G 
So fast that the hurt can’t catch up 
                 D       F# 
I’m burning your memory 
               Bm  A  G 
One mile at a time 
                D 
All the way to Tacoma 
    A                            D 
By then I hope you’re out of my mind 

D 
I’m thinking 
      A 
With a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee 
    Bm 
I’m drinking 
         G 
Yeah I’m hurting like hell 
           A 
But honey how could I not be 
D 
You made me 
       A 
Oh the joke and the fool 
                                 C 
The last one to know so I’m gonna put 
Mountains and deserts and rivers between us 
  A 
Go as far as I can go 

                 D 
Might make it to Memphis 
                     A 
If that ain’t far enough 
                    C 
I'll speed down the highway to Tulsa, Missouri 
    G 
So fast that the hurt can’t catch up 
                 D       F# 
I’m burning your memory 
               Bm  A  G 
One mile at a time 
                D 
All the way to Tacoma 
    A                            D 
By then I hope you’re out of my mind 

Bm 
Might be some tears in Topeka 
Bbm 
Couple of sleepless nights in Cheyenne 
G 
Everytime that I miss you baby 
A 
I’ll hit the gas as fast as I can 

                 E 
Might make it to Memphis 
             B    G# 
Kansas City line 
                A 
All the way to Tacoma 
      B                          C#m   F# 
By then I hope you’re out of my mind 
                A 
All the way to Tacoma 
    B                            E 
By then I hope you’re out of my mind
