I should mention that it's next to impossible to make something out of this song without extensive back vocals. All the
harmony is there,as a matter of fact.

Em A Em7 A Em A C#m
I take a step outside and I breathe the air And I slam the door and I'm on
F#m
my way
Bm E Bm E Bm E
I won't lay no blame I won't call you names 'Cause I've made my break
C# F#m C# F#m Dmaj7 G
And I won't look back I've turned my back to those endless games.
The second verse is the same except :
Bm E Bm E Bm
.... Shaking dust from my shoes There's a road ahead And there's no way back
D E
home (No way) But I have to say
A V. A7sus D V. E VII.(slide down)
Leavin' home ain't easy (Oh I never thought it would be easy)
A V. A7sus D V. E VII. (s.d)
Leavin' all you own (Oh is the main thing calling me back ?)
A V. A7sus D V. F# Bm F7 A E7 A Dm9 A
Leavin' home ain't ea sy ( On the one you're leaving home)
Stay my love ..... etc the same as intro.
The rest is the same, except for the last but one time the chorus is played:
A V. A7sus D V. F# Bm F7
Leavin home ain't ne ce ssa ry Leave the on ly way
