Start Jamming...
[Dm] [Fm] [Em] [D]
Hold on, honey, I'd like to say I'm busting out and breaking [A] away
[G] I'm letting you go like a hot-bar shoe I can't take another heartache [D] from you
Think about how it's gonna be When you start back to needing me
[G] When your dancing shoes have lost their shine I'm gonna be [A] gone [D] in my head
I'm [G] leaving now, I'm leaving [D] now
Get out of [A] my face, get out of my place I'm leaving now, adios, I'm leaving [D] now
The time will come when you trim the fat Feed the kitchen straps to the front seat [G] cat
Bye-bye, baby, when the bills come due You might have to give up a jewel [D] or two
Get your heart out, anyway It's hot as your head and it's cold as [G] clay
It's all over now, you won't have me Get your good daddy or your [D] money free
I'm [G] leaving now, babe, I'm [D] leaving now Get out of [A] my space, get out of my face
I'm leaving now, hey, I'm leaving [D] now
[G]
[D] [Em] [A]
[D] [Dm]
[D] Pull up the collar on my traveling coat Sell that miserable pleasure boat
[G] I wouldn't give a nickel for another buck I'm living on muscle guts, [D] I'm luck
If anybody asks where did I go Tell them I went where the wild goose [G] goes
I won't even have me an area code Don't have a number, don't need [D] a row
I'm [G] leaving now, me too, I'm [D] leaving now Get out [A] of my face, get out of my space
I'm leaving now, adios, I'm [Am] leaving [D] now
Hit me
