G          D         C           G
It's never over 'til it's really over
     C            D           G    D 
And someone's left standing behind
  G             D
It goes without sayin'
    C             G
It's too late for stayin'
     C            G            C     D      G
And leavin's been comin' for a long, lo-o-ng time


Chorus:
 Em                        D
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup
C                  G
So many times in my mind
      Em
It's a hard road to travel
     D
From blacktop to gravel
       C                             D
And the next hill is the hardest I'll climb


    G           D           C           G
I've got all the answers for most of the questions
   C               D       G       D
And some ain't been easy to find
       G        D
There's no more erasin'
    C               G
The things I've been facin'
     C            G            C     D      G
And leavin's been comin' for a long, lo-o-ng time


Chorus:

 Em                        D
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup
C                  G
So many times in my mind
      Em
It's a hard road to travel
     D
From blacktop to gravel
       C                             D
And the next hill is the hardest I'll climb

   G            D         C            G

     C            G            C     D    G
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
