Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

All he could think about was how I'm too young for this

Got my whole life ahead, hell I'm just a kid

 Myself, how am I gonna raise one

All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke

So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast

 Oh well, those plans are long gone, and he said

Chorus

There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

Might as well kiss it all goodbye

 There goes my life

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later

That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator

 Oh yeah, he loves that little girl

Mama's waiting to tuck her in as she fumbles up those stairs

She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear

Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls, and he smiles

Chorus

There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

I love you, daddy good night

There goes my life

She had that Honda loaded down with Abercrombie clothes

 And 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express

He checked the oil slammed the hood said you're good to go

 She hugged em both and headed off to the west coast

And he cried...

Chorus

There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

I love you, baby goodbye

There goes my life
