Leaving

G C G G D C G G Jet fuel and traffic lines D Pulling up to the delta signs Am Distant shape of my hometown C Black stain where the wheels touch down G I pick up the morning news D I pass the man whos never shined my shoes Am Through security and to the train C That will take me to the airplane G C G G Count the miles on the highway D The sum of all my days Am Theres a postcard theres a call C And theres a picture for your bedroom wall G But do you ever wonder through and through D Whos that person standing next to you Am And after all the nights apart C Is there a home for a travelling heart G D Am C But if I werent leaving you G D Am C I don't know what I would do G C But the more I go the less I know G C Will the fire still burn on my return Am C Keep the path lit on the only road I know D Honey all I know to do is go G C G G D C G G A cup of coffee and my bags are packed D The same vow not to look back Am Familiar emptiness inside C As the distances grow wide G And though I vow to memorize D The last look in your loving eyes Am Its here dusk and there dawn C Oh its like a curtain getting slowly drawn G D Am C But if I werent leaving you G D Am C I don't know what I would do G C But the more I go the less I know G C Will the fire still burn on my return Am C Keep the path lit on the only road I know D Honey all I know to do is go G C G G D C G G C G G D C G G D Am C But if I werent leaving you G D Am C I don't know what I would do G C But the more I go the less I know G C Will the fire still burn on my return Am C Keep the path lit on the only road I know D Honey all I know to do is go G C G G D C G
