E          B7        A           E  
It's never over 'til it's really over 
    A              B7         E     B7 
And someone's left standing behind 
   E            B7          A            E 
It goes without sayin' it's too late for stayin'  
     A             E            B7         E 
When leavin's been comin' for a long, long time 
 
F#                        B 
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup  
A                   E 
So many times in my mind 
       F#                       B 
It's a hard road to travel from blacktop to gravel  
        A                           B7  
And the next hill is the hardest to climb 
 
 
I've got all the answers for most of the questions 
And some ain't been easy to find 
There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin' 
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time 
 
Chorus 
 
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
