Verse 1:
                      G
I went free and of my own accord
                         Em7add4
Might as well have been another world
                 C
I left behind my darling one
                         G
As she began to walk all on her own
                               Em7add4
I watched her first steps on a video
                             C
In some distant dressing room

Chorus:
                 G
I decided as the curtain went
                      Em7add4
It was either give up there and then
           C
Or keep on going
                       G
I went out and did the best I could
                        Cadd9
Trade a milestone for a piece of wood
            C
And keep on going


Instrumental:
 C       | C       | G       | G       :
 Em7add4 | Em7add4 | C       | C       :


Verse 2:
                G
Oh I'll save as much as I can
                       Em7add4
And keep dreaming of a piece of land
                         C
In some bright corner of England
                    G
It'll come together come what may
                       Em7add4
If I make it work it's bound to pay
                           C
We're not just dreaming of living


Chorus:
                 G
I decided as the curtain went
                      Em7add4
It was either give up there and then
           C
Or keep on going


Bridge:
           G
All of the time
              Cadd9
In all of the places
                   C
Our love fills the distances
               G6add9
See you in the faces
        Cadd9
Of everyone I meet


Verse 3:
                     C
So again you help me onto my feet
                         G
I'll keep working on the mighty road
                              Em7add4
If I can write the words I'll let you know
                C
Just how much I love you


Chorus:
                 G
I decided as the curtain went
                      Em7add4
It was either give up there and then
           C
Or keep on going
                       G
I went out and did the best I could
                        Em7add4
Trade a milestone for a piece of wood
            C
And keep on going
