Intro x3
E  These words I wrote, play and Bsing to you
D  Do not convey the love I brought and Abring to you
Am  For this is a song for wEhile I'm away
To Asay all the things I'd lEove to say

You are my lA5ife, my eA♭5verythF♯5ing, you're E5all I have
You are my C♯5hopes, my dreams, my B5world come A5true
F♯5You'reE5 all I have
Please heed me F♯5now these A♭5words I hF♯5ave to E5say

Intro x3
Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart

Chorus x2
Intro x3
And far away hills look greener still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay

Fade out while playing chorus.
