[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][F][Dm][Em][C][Bb]
[Am][G][F][Am]
[G][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]I found a book that my mam[F]a kept
[C]Filled with secrets she[F] hid[C]
And in a [G]dusty old [Am]attic,
one [G]mornin' [C]I r[F]ead[G][C]
About a woman I [F]never met

[Verse 2]
[Am]Who had [G]dreams like mine[F]
With every page I [C]turned,
the words came [Dm]alive[C][Dm][G][Gsus4][G]
Wish I could [C]roll out of town
like a run[F]-away train
train
I'll [Am]do as I[G] dare, let them ca[F]ll me insane

[Verse 3]
I'll never [C]sit on the side[G]lines [Am]of life,
I'll [G]dance [F]every [G]dance
If I just had the [Am]chance[G]
[F][Am][G][F][C]
A tear fell on that [F]faded page
[C]'Cause this was[F] somebody els[C]e
Not the [G]mama I knew

[Verse 4]
[Am]who never
[G]thought of her[F]self[G][C]
But the times, [F]they were different then
[Am]And lines just[G] didn't get cros[F]sed
And these words that she [C]wrote,
they somehow got [Dm]lost[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Wish I could [C]roll out of town
like a run[F]-away train
train
I'll [Am]do as I[G] dare, let them ca[F]ll me insane
I'll never [C]sit on [G]the sidelines [Am]of life,
[G]I'll dance [F]every [G]dance
[Gsus4]If I just had [G]the [Gsus4]chance[Am][C]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Am]
[G][F][Bb][F][Gsus4]
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
The chance that she [F]never [C]had
Is now the gift that is [F]mine[C]
And our [G]here on [Am]this road,
I'm makin' [G]up for [C]lost [F]tim[Gsus4]e[G][C]
Yeah, I am [F]my mother's
[G]child[Am][Em]

[Verse 7]
[F]As [Em]I rol[C]l[Dm][F][Gsus4][G][C]
out of town like a [F]run-away train
train
I'll [Am]do as I d[G]are, let them ca[F]ll me insane
I'll never [C]sit on [G]the sidelines [Am]of life,
I'll [G]dance [F]every [Gsus4]dance
While I still [G]have the [Am]chance
[G][C][F]

[Verse 8]
I'll never [C]sit on the side[G]lines [Am]of life,
I'll [G]dance [F]every [Gsus4]dance
[G]While I still hav[Gsus4]e the[G]
chance
[Am][Em][F]
