Leaving Home

Tom: G

            G
I put the locket you gave me in a shoe box
           Em
With all my favorite high school pictures in a ziplock
           C                             Em
So when I think about myself and all that I'm not
        Am
Thanks for the extra cash
        C
Please take good care of dad
     Am                           D
I promise you I'll call along the way

G      D         G
Mama, don't you cry
                  Em         D     G
I'm movin' on but know this ain't goodbye
              C                      G          D
We might be miles apart, I'll carry you in my heart
               Am                      D
I'll send you kisses on the phone but mama
             G
I'm leaving home

          G
In only four months I'll be comin' home for Christmas
   Em
I bet that all the time will fly, you know how it does
           C                           Em
Maybe I'll go and find a nice guy and fall in love
          Am
I'll do my best to make you proud
         C
Keep my room safe for now
        Am                              D
Just in case these big dreams don't work out

Am
We knew this day would come
     G
And as bad as you wanna hold on
Am                           C
We both know it's time to let go
(To let go)
