          D                
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 alone
   G                Em             A
Forgetting 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 away 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
