[Verse 1]

            C               Am
I’m packing up, I’ve gotta move
          F                 C
I’m gon' blow a fifty-foot hole
             G                 Am
Through the dark clouds in my room
              C
I’m making a change
                  Am
I'm gonna start today
          F                      C
I’m gon' roll these dice with a song
 tonight
           G                Am
I'm gonna whip these blues away
             Am                
And I’m gon' run so far they’ll 
  G              F
never find me again

[Chorus]

             C                E
But I ain’t leavin’, I ain’t leavin’
           Am                F
'less I’m leavin’ here with you
           C               E
I’ve been patient while I waited,
       Am                F
but I feel it’s time to move
             Am                 F
You’ve been crying, yeah, I’ve seen 
you
        C               G
Honey, I’ve been crying too
         C                    G
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven,
          Am                 F
I’m gon' keep them safe for you
         C                    G
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven,
          Am        F             Am
I’m gon' keep them safe ‘til they do

[Verse 2]

        C                 Am
I just wait in cold, cold gray
       F                   C  
But I know like I’ve been told,

yeah, mama said, “Hold on to hope”
              C                    
She whispers sweet, "there's a 
  Am
light and glory"
               F                   
But you gotta burn that sound of

[Bridge]

     C            C/B      Am    
And when I was a child, a dream 
       F
came to me
             C           C/B      
Well, every soul hanging low found
      Am           F
 its piece of dignity
           Am            F        
'Til that dream gets to Heaven, 
       C                    G
you can ride this train for free
           Am            F        
'Til that dream gets to Heaven, 
       C                 G
you can ride this train on me
            Am                  G 
And we gon' run so far they'll 
             F
never find us again

[Chorus]

             C                E
But I ain’t leavin’, I ain’t leavin’

'less I’m leavin’ here with you
           C               E
