D-DU-UDU
 (Verse 1)
In  our cold and empty  house
I  lingered now for far  too long
I  vainly held the  rosary
To  pray you'd stay  with me a while
But  nothing seems to keep  me here
The  way it used to do  before
This  time it's me that's leaving  you
I'll  never turn around
 (Bridge)
Cause  when the laughter's gone
I  know I must be  moving on
 (Refrain)
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
 No more
 (Verse 2)
I'm  standing at the crossroads  now
The  fields of opportunity
I'm  ready to go anywhere
I'm  full of hope and full  of fear
And  bridges back have all  been burned
And  freedom has been duly  earned
I'll  remember why I've  gone
Remember  where I'm coming  from
 (Bridge)
Oh,  when the laughter's gone, uuhuu
I  know I must be  moving on
 (Refrain)
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
 (Interlude)
 Em7 -- Dsus4
And  now I leave my mask with you
The  part I played I never knew
Tonight  you're alone
 (Refrain)
 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
