Tim Barry - With ease i leave

^DThis city's not the same without you ^Ebut I proud here on my own ^DBelow this winter sky I ain't counting time but it ^Esure is passing slow ^DBeen sitting up at the overlook the view's ^Ebest now it's cold ^DCoal loads go east and empties west and the ^Eriver's been mighty low

^AYeah the mayor's out spinning ^Bmhis on top ^Aagain And the river ^Afront's gone to ^Bmthose with most cash in ^Ahand

^GOh I know I think ^Atoo much and spend ^Dtoo much time ^Galone ^GBut that don't mean I don't ^Amiss you when you're ^Bmgone Aside from ^Gpromises and a few ^Afriends I made I don't ^Dthink I'll stay here ^Glong ^GWith ease I ^Aleave before my roots have ^Bmgrown

^DI wish I could slow you down and shake you ^Esometimes instead I'll listen more ^DTo the same old thoughts I've heard a thousand times and hope to hear ^Eone thousand more Like how the ^Dcity of the future plan blindly ^Epreys on the working poor All ^Dcollared blue with eyes bloodshot red on ^Epayment plans to keep warm

^AYeah I've learned to stay as ^Bmfar and as close as I can possibly ^Aunderstand But so^Ametimes it gets so ^Bmheavy lord I can't ^A

^GOh I know I think ^Atoo much and spend ^Dtoo much time ^Galone ^GBut that don't mean I don't ^Amiss you when you're ^Bmgone Aside from ^Gpromises and a few ^Afriends I made I don't ^Dthink I'll stay here ^Glong ^GWith ease I ^Aleave before my roots have ^Bmgrown But I don't ^Aknow

^AI need you more that you ^Bmneed me in too many ^Aways ^AAnd I can't stand ^Bmdependence so I can't ^Astay

^GOh I know I think ^Atoo much and spend ^Dtoo much time ^Galone ^GBut that don't mean I don't ^Amiss you when you're ^Bmgone Aside from ^Gpromises and a few ^Afriends I made I don't ^Dthink I'll stay here ^Glong ^GWith ease I ^Aleave before my roots have ^Bmgrown ^GI'll be gon^Ae before you are even ^Bmhome
