Intro: G Em C D
verse 1
G Em
I'm going away for a while
C
Don't care how many miles
D
It takes it get wherever I go
As long as I can take it slow
G
And take my time
Em
Finding a brand new heart
C
Making a brand new start
Been watching the whole world
D
Fall apart and the pieces
Keep on breaking, so
[Refrão]G Em
If I go on down this road
C
Hand out the window
D
Singing every song I love
G
Find me a boat, a plane
Em
A take me home country road rain
C D
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
G
But I'll come back with a smile
Verse
Em
I'll be kicked back in the shade
C
Nothing but buzz in my veins
D
Nobody knowing my name
I'm just a face and a place
G
A dot on the map
Em
And it's too short of a life
C
I gotta enjoy the ride
I finally get to feeling alive
D
I'm taking off, I'm flying
[Refrão] G Em
And here I go on down this road
C
Hand out the window
D
Singing every song I love
G
Find me a boat, a plane
Em
A take me home country road rain
C D
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
G
But I'll come back with a smile
Instrumental
G Em C D
Bridge
C
And just outside this bar
G
There's a shop with a postcard
Am
I'll write your name
Wish you were here
D
And I'll be back when things are clearer
[Refrão] G Em
So here I go on down this road
C
Hand out the window
D
Singing every song I love
G
Find me a boat, a plane
Em
A take me home country road rain
C D
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
G
But I'll come back with a smile
