| I've been | keeping on the run |
| Am | |
| I've been | traveling with the sun |
| G | A | D | |
| I've been | singing all my | life and getting | by |
| Got to keep up with what's going on |
| Am | |
| In this | place I've been so long |
| G | A | D | |
| And I | guess I'll just keep | singing all my | life |
| G | D | |
| And it's | so good to come | home |
| G | D | |
| To a | woman all al | one |
| G | Em | A | |
| For | getting how hard | loneliness can | be |
| Em | A | |
| She will | take me from this | world |
| Em | A | G | A | D | Dmaj | D7 | G | Gm | A | D | |
| Then she'll | gently | take the | world a | way from | me |
| l'll be coming home at night |
| While the kids are sleeping tight |
| She'll be lit by firelight and looking fine |
| And the kids jump out of bed |
| Hello Daddy, what did you get |
| Did you think of anything on down the line |
| She'll be talking with her smile |
| Saying, honey, wait awhile |
| The kids have missed you, soon they'll be asleep |
| She will take me from this world |
| Then she'll gently take the world away from me |
| Oh the prophets and the sages |
| And the wise men through the ages |
| All that's written down on pages from above |
| Just can't adequately describe |
| What I'm feeling here inside |
| It's just useless to be living without love |
| And I'll take her by her hand |
| Just a woman and a man |
| Without trying to understand what we should be |
| She will take me from this world |
| Then she'll gently take the world away from me |
