E              A               E         B
All he could think about was how I'm too young
for this
E             A            E              B
Got my whole life ahead, hell I'm just a kid
   A                    E       A  E   B
Myself, how am I gonna raise one
E             A                    E   B
All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
E            A                E             B
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on
the coast
A                          B
Oh well, those plans are long gone, and he said

Chorus:
E      B       A   B
There goes my life
E      B       A          E  
There goes my future, my everything
F#m7            E           A
Might as well kiss it all goodbye
               E  A   E    B
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

Momma'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

Chorus:
He smiles
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you, daddy good-night
There goes my life

 E           F#m7           E             A
She had that Honda loaded down with Abercrombie
clothes
     E           B
And 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express
A               E              F#m7              E  
He checked the oil slammed the hood said you're good
to go
     A               E                    B
She hugged em both and headed off to the west coast
A E B
     And he cried...

Chorus:
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you
Baby, good-bye

There goes my life
There goes my life
Baby good-bye
