Intro: D D/C# D G
(Verse 1)
D D/C#
In our cold and empty house
D G
I lingered now for far too long
D D/C#
I vainly held the rosary
D G
To pray you'd stay with me a while
D D/C#
But nothing seems to keep me here
D G
The way it used to do before
D D/C#
This time it's me that's leaving you
D G
I'll never turn around
(Bridge)
Asus2 D G
Cause when the laughter's gone
Asus2 D G
I know I must be moving on
Em7 G
And I will dance when I walk away
D
Oh, I'm gonna sing
D/C# Asus2
I won't beg or pray
Em7 G
I will dance when I walk away
D
Oh, I'm gonna sing
Asus2
I won't beg or pray
No more
(Verse 2)
D D/C#
I'm standing at the crossroads now
D G
The fields of opportunity
D D/C#
I'm ready to go anywhere
D G
I'm full of hope and full of fear
D D/C#
And bridges back have all been burned
D G
And freedom has been duly earned
D D/C#
I'll remember why I've gone
D G
Remember where I'm coming from
(Bridge)
Asus2 D G G
Oh, when the laughter's gone, uuhuu
Asus2 D G G
I know I must be moving on
Em7 G
And I will dance when I walk away
D
Oh, I'm gonna sing
D/C# Asus2
I won't beg or pray
Em7 G
I will dance when I walk away
D
Oh, I'm gonna sing
D/C# Asus2
I won't beg or pray
Interlude: Em7 Dsus4
Bb
And now I leave my mask with you
Cm
The part I played I never knew
Asus2
Tonight you're alone
And I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
I will dance when I walk away
Oh, I'm gonna sing
I won't beg or pray
Oh, this is not a home for me (3x)
