Leaving

                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
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

Keep the path lit on the only road I know
                    D
