[Verse 1]
F C
She told me she’s leaving
Dm Bb
Said she’s not leaving me
F C
'cause I’m on the road
Dm Bb
And I’m not there to leave
F C
She’s tired of waiting
Dm Bb
And being alone
F C
She said I’m not getting younger
Dm Bb
And you’re not coming home
[Chorus]
F Gm
The road can be hard
F Gm F
The road took my only love
Gm
And tore us apart
C F C Dm Bb
And now she chose a new road to start
F C Dm Bb
[Verse 2]
F C
The pain gets stronger
Dm Bb
With each passing day
F C
The time gets longer
Dm Bb
That you are away
[Chorus]
F Gm
The road can be hard
F Gm F
The road took my only love
Gm
And tore us apart
C F C Dm Bb
And now she chose a new road to start
