Intro - Am C
[Am]I have wept until I've slept into the lap of the lady that I [C]love
[Am]Though she begged and she cajoled I couldn't tell her what I was thinkin[C]g of
[Am]I didn't choose, no I was chosen by a life that must be lived in passing[C] through
[Am]And though she changed so much for me, changing this is the one thing I [C]cannot do
[Dm]Darling, I'm lea[G]ving,[G7]
[C]Distance keep[C/B]s calling me [Am]on,
[Dm]Darling, come mo[G]rning[G7],
[F]I'll be gone
[Am]She is beauty, she is graceful in her poise and she is gentle in her c[C]are
[Am]she is the calm within the center of my storm she is her fingers through[C] my hair
[Am]she has my heart though it is breaking cause it knows that deep inside she
still beli[C]eves
[Am]That there will ever come a morning when I'm staying and not gathering to
[C]leave
[Dm]Darling, I'm lea[G]ving,[G7]
[C]Distance keep[Am/B]s calling me [Am]on,
[Dm]Darling, come mo[G]rning[G7],
[F]I'll be gone
Break/Instrumental is basically an Am F pattern:
then...
or...
(NOW BELT THIS LAST CHORUS OUT!!)
[Am]Baby let's get out of the city, we need to breathe some cle[C]aner air,
[Am]That creeping feeling's starting like I miss you, but with both of us [C]still here
[Am]There's a sadness in your smiles now and an edge of desperation in your[C] voice
[Am]We have all this independence, but it still feels like we never had a c[C]hoice
[Dm]Darling, I'm le[G]aving.
