D6
Babe I'm leaving I must be on my way

The time is drawing near
D6
My train is going I see it in your eyes
Em7                      G/A   A
The love, the need, your tears
Bm                   G7M A
But I'll be lonely without you
G7M                             A       G/A  A

So please believe me my heart is in your hands and

I'll be missing you

Whenever I get weary

And I've had enough
          Bm      A
Feel like giving up

You know it's you babe
G/D
Giving me the courage
        Bm           A
And the strength I need

2nd Verse (almost as first)

Babe, I'm leaving
I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget
If only for awhile
'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me
My heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Em7          D6
Babe, I love you
Em7          D6
Babe, I love you
G/A        D6
Oooh, ooh, babe
