G 
It's pretty cold for late September 
The autumn wind is creepin' in 
C 
The summer sun packed up it's long gone 
          G 
There's a whole lot of leaving going on 

G 
I'll bet it's warm in California 
I think it's time to hit the road 
C 
I just might call that band of gypsies 
G 
Go searching for our pot of gold 
           A                             C            G 
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on 

Chorus: 

 C                                      G 
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine 
       C                                         G 
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time 
                  A             C 
Where I can find a reason to be strong 
           A                             C            G 
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on 

G 
Close the window, draw the curtains 
You ain't the only one here hurtin' 
C 
No one's right, no one's wrong 
G 
Lately there's a whole lot of leaving going on 

Chorus 

Solo 

G 
You used to live to say you love me 
Now you got one foot out the door 
It's then you turn around and ask me 
Do we got it anymore? 

 C                                      G 
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine 
       C                                          G 
I still hear your voice, it takes me back to that time 
             A             G 
When I need a reason to be strong 

 C                                      G 
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine 
     C                                        G 
Yeah I walk the line, you'll never hear me say goodbye 
          A                      C 
So pretty thing let the years be strong 
           A                             C            G 
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leaving goin' on
