VERSE 1
        A
Well if you ever said goodbye
           C
I wouldn't waste all of my time cryin'
           D
I wouldn't sit home alone wondering where I went wrong
       A
I'd be rockin' on out of here
      C
Baby, faster than a rolling tear
         D
Ain't no grass gonna grow under me when you're gone
    E7
No, I won't stay down for long


CHORUS 1
A
  I'd hit the ground
C
  I'd hit the ground runnin'
D               A       C  G
  I know exactly what I'd do, honey
A
  I'd hit the ground
C
  I'd hit the ground runnin'
D                           A
  I'd hit the ground runnin' after you
/A---/C---/D---/A-G D|F#/


VERSE 2
          A
I'm gonna stop in long enough
      C
For a couple things I gotta pick up
           D
Like some pretty red flowers and a store bought card
        A
That say what I really feel
       C
That I need ya and I always will
         D
And the three little words that used to come hard
        E7
Then I jump in back in my car and then


CHORUS 1


CHORUS 2
A
  There ain't no doubt
C
  I ain't that proud
D                           A       C G
  There ain't no doubt about what I'd do
A
  I'd hit the ground
C
  Hit the ground
D                                Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Hit the ground runnin' after you


BRIDGE
A5
   So if you gotta go baby, I won't stop you
And I won't sit around and miss you, no , no , no
E7
'Cause if you leave I'm - a - comin' with you
