[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
C G
The pause of the morning, it gave me a chill,
Am G Am
& I knew I would soon have to decide,
C G
Tired of living, just to pay off my bills,
Am G Am
So I packed up without a goodbye.
C G
I found myself a place to stay out from the cold,
Am G Am
Where the air & the fishing was free,
C G
& my crazy ways I did not have to hide,
Am G Am G
On the banks of the black swanee.
[Chorus]
Am
I only wanted a place of my own,
G Am
Some land & a garden to grow,
G Am C
But in the end I could not dance alone,
G Em Am
So I packed up & headed back home.
[Verse]
C G
I traded the quiet for the roar of the crowds,
Am G Am
The dawn for the big city lights,
C G
I got myself a job @ a bank here downtown,
Am G Am G
& I drank away my lonely nights.
[Chorus]
Am
How I dreamt of that place of my own,
G Am
Where I could remain as I am,
G Am C
& I dreaded the way that I headed back home,
GEm Am
When the solitude I could not stand?
[Verse]
C G
Then fate found a girl with the moon in her eyes,
Am G Am
& a beauty of likes never seen,
C G
But her heart was a treasure to never be mine,
Am G Am G
& she left me in sheer misery.
[Chorus]
Am
Take me back to that place of my own,
G Am G
Where no I can hear a man cry.
Am C
I do not care if I must die alone,
G Em Am
For I know now to not compromise.
G Em Am
I know now to not compromise.
