Strum
D-DU-UDU
Making  my own city lights
 Out of bourbon  and the stars of a bar  room fight
Face  forward in the wind
 If you don't  know where it is but you know  where its been
 Then it's leaving,  leaving,
 Leaving  but I don't  know where
Leaving, leaving,
Leaving  but I don't  know where
 I tried to keep my self in line
 I been bad but I seem to get back every time
 Now I come back and the place is all locked
 Between the door knob and the doorbell,
 Somebody talked
 Now its leaving, leaving,
 Leaving but I don't know where
 Leaving, leaving
 Leaving but I don't know where
And  everytime I  turn around
Something  else just floated away
There  ain't a single thing  that I've found
 With wings  that decided to stay
 Maybe it's the place on the wall
 Or maybe it's the space where the phone didn't call
 Or maybe it's this thing on my chest
 We'll know what it is
 By the hole that it left
 Now it's leaving, leaving
 Leaving but I don't know where
 Leaving, leaving,
 Leaving but I don't know where
 Leaving but I don't know where

Now it's leaving, leaving
Leaving but I don't know where
Leaving, leaving,
Leaving but I don't know where
Leaving but I don't know where
