[Intro]
G  D  A  G  D  A
 
[Verse]
D             G               D/F#       A
All he could think about was how I'm too young for this
D             G           D/F#           A
Got my whole life ahead, hell I'm just a kid 
   G                   D        G  D/F#  A
Myself, how am I gonna raise one
D             G                   D/F# A
All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
D            G                  D/F#           A
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast
 G                       A
Oh well, those plans are long gone, and he said
 
[Chorus]
D      A       G   A
There goes my life
D      A       G         D/F#
There goes my future, my everything
Em7           D/F#          G
Might as well kiss it all goodbye
             D   G  D/F#  A
There goes my life
 
[Verse]
D                 G                   D/F#        A
A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later
D                 G              D/F#           A
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator
 G                     D          A
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl
D                  G          D/F#           A
Mama's waiting to tuck her in as she fumbles up those stairs
D           G           D/F#         A
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear
G                          A
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls, and he smiles
 
[Chorus]
D      A       G   A
There goes my life
D      A       G         D/F#
There goes my future, my everything
Em7         D/F#        G
I love you, daddy good night
Asus4          G
There goes my life
 
[Bridge]
D/F#         Em7          D/F#           G
She had that Honda loaded down with Abercrombie clothes 
    D/F#         A
And 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express
G              D/F#            Em7              D/F#
He checked the oil slammed the hood said you're good to go
     G              D/F#                  A
She hugged em both and headed off to the west coast
G   D  A
        And he cried...
 
[Chorus]
D      A       G   A
There goes my life
D      A       G         D/F#
There goes my future, my everything
Em7         D/F#     G
I love you, baby goodbye
G  D/F#              G   D/F#
      There goes my life
G  D/F#              G   D/F#
      There goes my life

It doesn't sound lie the acoustic player who plays with Kenny is using a capo. I could be wrong but it just sound like E A n B to me but like I said I need the minor on the chorus and a sub for D/F#

Wendall Mobley plays it on Capo 3 in their live version...ah it sounds so good both ways :)
