Capo 1 
[VERSE 1]
G                 F#/D         Em 
When I left it was starting to rain 
C                   D 
She was still fast asleep 
G            F#/D   Em 
A dream and a song away 
C                      D 
I got on the plane to L.A. 
G                Em 
I know it's heartbreaking 
C                 D 
The time that I'm taking 
    C                             
The tears that you're crying 
  D 
I know that you're dying 

[CHORUS]
      G           D 
Cause I'm going away  
        Em                         C 
And you know I can't take you with me 
    G                       D 
And time ain't gonna stop today 
      Em                           C 
But I hope that you're waiting for me 
       Em  D   C 
When I get back home 
                  G D Em C
Back home to you  

[VERSE 2]
G            F#/D      Em 
I fall to my knees and pray 
     C                             D 
This world ain't gonna get down on me 
G              F#/D     Em 
I feel like I'm so far away 
      C                   D 
But I smile as I turn the page 
G                       Em 
My heart is falling but my dream keeps calling 
    C                             
The life that I'm living 
   D 
Is so unforgiving 

(Chorus) 

[BRIDGE] 
Am         D 
I've been away for so long 
Am             D 
But I'll never do you wrong 
      C    D          G-D-Em-C x 2
Cause baby I'm coming home

(Chorus)
