Leaving "Leaving"
By Josh Ritter
Interpretation by Bryan Byrne

Capo 3

Intro: C and then it goes to F

F C
Making my own city lines
F Am
Out of bourbon and the stars of a bar room fight
F C
Face-forward in the wind
F F7
You dont know where it is but you know where its been
C G F G C
And it's leaving, leaving, leaving but I don't know where (2x)

I tried to keep myself in line
I've been bad but I seem to get back in every time
Now I come back into places all locked
Between the doorknob and the doorbell, somebody talked

Now it's leaving, etc.

F Em
And every time I turn around,
G C
Something else has floated away
F Em
There ain't a single thing that I've found
G G7
With wings that decided to stay

(Nifty guitar solo)

Maybe it's the place on the wall
Maybe it's the space where the phone didn't call
Or maybe it's this thing in my chest
Won't know what it is but the hole that it left

Now it's leaving, etc.
