[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
[Instrumental]
G C G
[Verse 2]
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
[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 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
[Instrumental]
G C G
G D C G
[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 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
[Instrumental]
G C G

[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 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
