Now you're all past twenty-one
                                 C      E7
We think it's time that you were gone
                         Am    D
Time you started on your own
                                  G       C
If you were birds, you would have flown
                               F    G
We've had a talk, your Mom and me
                          C      E7
We're sorry if you don't agree
                          Am     D
You can shout and you can moan
                              G      C
But Mom and me, we're leaving home

You've had the best days of our lives
                           C       E7
So never doubt our love survives
                               Am      D
But when we think of all we've spent
                                    G       C
We think we should have charged you rent
                                     F        G
We've pushed the trolleys then we've queued
                               C      E7
To fill the fridge and buy the food
                              Am    D
The fridge was empty the next day
                               G      C
So fridge and us, we're on our way

'Cause there's so much we've never seen
                         G      E7
So many places we've not been
                            Am      D
So many dreams we'd like to dream
                           G       C
We'll trade conformity for cream
                              F     D
And if you think we won't get far
                                 G     E7
Well, sorry kids, we'll take the car
                                Am       D
You've got ten days, no time to grouse
                                G       C
You see we've gone and sold the house
C  F  G  C  E7  Am  D  G
C  F  G  C  E7  Am  D  G  C

You've taken all that we could bring
                          C       E7
You've never wanted for a thing
                              Am     D
In fact you've had it so damn good
                               G       C
You wouldn't leave it when you could
                             F    G
That's why we're taking all TVs
                              C      E7
To share our leisured life of ease
                              Am     D
And in a month, well, more or less
                          G
You'll get our P.O. Box address
                     C   F   C
'Cause we're leaving home
