Leaving

[Verse 1]
                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

[Verse 2]
                         G
Count the miles on the highway
            D
The sum of all my days
                    Am
Theres a postcard theres a call
And theres a picture for your 
  C
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
Continúa después del anuncio
Is there a home for a travelling 
 C
heart

[Chorus]
                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        
Will the fire still burn on my 
    C
return
         Am               C
Keep the path lit on the only road I
 know
                    D
Honey all I know to do is go

[Verse 3]
                        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

[Chorus]
                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        
Will the fire still burn on my 
    C
return
         Am               C
Keep the path lit on the only road I
 know
                    D
Honey all I know to do is go

But the more I go the less I know

Keep the path lit on the only road I
