Verse:
[C] I've been this road be[F]fore
Walk out the do[C]or, leave you on the fl[G]oor

Is for me to [F]go, leave you a[C]lone
You [Am]got growin'[G] up to d[C]o
[Am] [G] [C]
[C]Some day I'll return when its [F]time
For payment in [C]kind, the church bell[G]s chime
[C]You stand before me sur[F]rounded by light
Dresse[C]d in white
You throw flowers in the [Am]air this [G]night
But[F] the best thin[C]g I can[E] give to [Am]you
Is for me to [F]go, leave you a[C]lone
You [Am]got growin'[G] up to d[C]o

All I[F] want is to come back h[C]ome
[C]This old corduroy coat is not k[E]eeping me dry
