Bm E Bm E Bm E

I won't lay no blame I won't call you names 'Cause I've made my break

C# F#m x4343x F#m xx0630 xx0230 G

And I won't look back I've turned my back to those endless games.

The second verse is the same except :

Bm7 E Bm E Bm

.... Shaking dust from my shoes There's a road ahead And there's no way back

D E

home (No way) But I have to say

A V. A7sus D V. x7999x x79797/slide down

Leavin' home ain't easy (Oh I never thought it would be easy)

Leavin' all you own (Oh there's a million things calling me back)

A V. A7sus D V. F# Bm F7 A E7 A Dm9 A

Leavin' home ain't ea sy ( On the one you're leaving home)
