verse 1 

            C               Am 
I'm packing up, I've gotta move 
          F                 C           G                  Am 
I'm gon' blow a fifty-foot hole in the dark clouds in our room 
              C                     Am 
I'm making a change and starting today 
          F                      C                       G                Am 
I'm gon' roll these dice with a song tonight, I'm gonna whip these blues away 
             Am                  G              F 
And I'm gon' run so far they'll never find me again

             C                E                 Am                F 
But I ain't leavin', I ain't leavin' 'less I'm leavin' here with you 
           C               E             Am                F 
I've been patient while I waited, but I feel it's time to move 
             Am                 F 
You've been crying, yeah, I've seen you 
        C               G 
Honey, I've been crying too 
         C                    G                Am                 F 
If your prayers don't get to Heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe for you 
         C                    G                Am        C             Am 
If your prayers don't get to Heaven, I'm gon' keep them safe ‘til they do

verse 2 

        C                 Am 
I just wait in cold, cold gray 
       F                   C                G                 Am 
But I know like I've been told, yeah, mama says, “Hold on to hope” 
              C                  Am 
She whispers sweet, "Isn't life lonely?” 
           F                      C                     G                 Am 
You gotta burn that sound of the voices out that wanna bring you to your knees 
          Am                  G               F 
You gotta run so far they'll never find you again

           Am            F               C                 G
