Leavin For The Last Time Cifras

Leavin' For The Last Time
Words & music by Bob Gibson and Jo Mapes
 
[Verse 1]
C
I’m leavin’ for the last time
Dm
Don’t need this lonely pastime
G
Stumblin’ through the words
C
I know you’re waitin’ up to hear
C7
I’m packin’ up my suitcase
F
Packed full of bright tomorrows
D
If I can’t share your love
G            G7      G6        G5
I just won’t sit and wear your sorrows
C        G      C
One more achin’ day
 
[Verse 2]
C
I don’t know where we lost it
Dm
I don’t know where the love went
G
Where the hope was all spent
C
And the sweetness turned to pain
C7
We cried and cried our grievin’
F
Sighed and sighed our needin’
D
And played a losing game
     G     G7       G6          G5
When not a chance remained that we might
C       G        C
Hope to find our way
 
[Chorus]
F             G
Don’t look at me with hunger
C                 Am              F
I can’t fill that achin’, quakin’ place
              G                 C               C7
That’s got no name, it’s just a place you live
F                G            C
You’ll find some other lonely trav’ler
   Am               F
To deposit with you more than
     G                 C    G       C
Much more than I could ever hope to give
 
[Verse 3]
C
So I’m leavin’ as the wind blows
Dm
Don’t watch me from your window
G
Don’t try to shackle me
C
With eyes and signs of might have been
C7
Your tears don’t work no longer
F
Tomorrow’s call is stronger
D
And right or wrong, I know
     G        G7      G6        G5
Your need has cost me more than I could
C    G       C
Ever hope to pay
 
[Verse 1]
C
I’m leavin’ for the last time
Dm
Don’t need this lonely pastime
G
Stumblin’ through the words
C
I know you’re waitin’ up to hear
C7
I’m packin’ up my suitcase
F
Packed full of bright tomorrows
D
If I can’t share your love
  G          G7      G6        G5
I just won’t sit and wear your sorrows
C        G      C
One more achin’ day
