Verse 1:
C G/A
It's still dark, no morning light
G/B C
Will greet me as I take my flight
C G/A
I didn't dare kiss you goodbye
G/B C
For fear you'd wake and start to cry
Dm G/B
Lord knows you go on without me
Dm G/B
You have a big ol' time
Dm G/B
But you're on my mind
Chorus:
C Am Dm G
I'll be heading down the road
Dm G C
But I don't want to go
C Am Dm G
You know I'd go penniless
Dm G C
To stay and watch you grow
Em Am
Still, a living must be made

On a microphone

I may be a little late

But I'll be coming home

Castles and tall buildings too

Dm G/B
Tying me to you
Dm G/B
Over oceans blue
Chorus:

I'll be heading down the road

You know I'd go penniless

To stay and watch you grow

Still, a living must be made

On a microphone
C Am Dm G
I may be a little late
Dm G C
But I'll be coming home

I may be a little late
