It's pretty cold for late September

the autumn wind is creeping in
B9
the summer sun packed up it's long gone
          F#
there's a whole lot of leaving going on.


F#
I'll bet it's warm in California

I think it's time to hit the road
B9
I just might call that band of gypsies
F#
Go searching for our pot of gold


           C#

Seems like lately there's a whole lot 
   B9          F#
Of leaving going on.

I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
       B9
I still hear your voice
                        F#
It takes me back to that time
                    C#9       B9
Where I could find a reason to be strong
           C#9                       B9          F#
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin on

(Verse)
F#
Close the window draw the curtains

You ain't the only one here hurtin'
B9
No one's right no one's wrong
F#
Lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on

(CHOURS)
B9                                    F#
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
       B9
I still hear your voice
                        F#
It takes me back to that time
                    C#9       B9
Where I could find a reason to be strong
           C#9                       B9          F#
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin on

You used to live to say you love me

Now you got one foot out the door

Its then you turn around and ask me

(CHOURS)
B9                                    F#
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
       B9
I still hear your voice
                        F#
It takes me back to that time
             C#9          B9
When I need a reason to be strong


B9                                    F#
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
B9 
Yeah, I walk the line
                                 F#
You'll never hear me saying good bye
         C#9             B9
So pretty baby, please be strong
