G   C   G   D   G

[Verse 1]

G               C                D7
Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin'

         G            C            D7
But it's still not as cold as your love for me

               G
That's why I'm walkin' down this highway

      C
And a diesel goin' my way

          G           D                 G
Will take me far from you and you'll be free
[Chorus]
          C                                  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa

         D                              G
But then again the same was true out in LA

           C
Seems like troubles always find us

     G                  C
So I broke the tie that binds us

          G       C        G       D  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
[Instrumental] G C G D G [Verse 2]
G                    C             D7
We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico

        G                    C              D7
But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe

             G
And we could blame it all on Texas

        C
But the problem now with us is

         G           D          G
We never had what we thought anyway
[Chorus]
          C                            G
There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer

      D                                  G
And I finally found the strength to walk away

         C
Tell the kids their daddy loves them

             G                  C
They'll understand I'm thinkin' of them

          G       C        G       D  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway

C         G       C        G       D  G
