E
When you fall at the rocks
At the bend at the river
Abm
With the blood from your nose
Running hard on your fingers
B A
And through the rest of your life
E Abm B A
E
The electric charge
Of a change in the weather
Abm
You were touching my arm
You were holding a feather
B A
And then I opened my eyes
C#m
As the World goes racing, suddenly changed
B
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling
C#m
Like a busting shell in the small of your back
B
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie
And an animal life was surging away
E
And you were back on the road
Through the worst of the Winter
Abm
Through the Valley of Lies
Passing through like an arrow
E
Oh , if your vision collapsed
And a storm from the river
Abm
Like a golden medalion
Clutching tight in your fingers
B
But on the slope of the edge
A

Abm
With a pistol firing shots into the air
E
You could run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
Abm
You could drive the mountains down into the bay
B
Or go back to the East where it's all so civilized
A
Where I was born to the life
E
But I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
Abm
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
B A E
I am leaving
