D5
hold on , honey , i’d like to say ,

i’m bustin’ out and breakin’ away .
G5
i’m lettin’ you go like a hot horseshoe .
D5
i can’t take another heartache from you .

think about how it’s gonna be

when you start back to needin’ me .
G5
when you dancin’ shoes have lost their shine ,
D5
i’m gonna be gone in mine .

G5 D5
i’m leavin’ now , i’m leavin’ now .
A
get out of my face , get out of my place .
D5
i’m leavin’ now . adios , i’m leavin’ now .

D5
yeah , the time had come when you’d trim the fat .

feed the kitchen scraps to the front seat cat .
G5
bye – bye , baby , when the bills come due
D5
you might have to give up jewel or two .

eat your heart out . anyway ,

it’s hard as your head and it’s cold as clay .
G5
it’s all over now . you won’t have me ,
D5
your sugar Daddy or your money tree .

G5 D5
i’m leavin’ now , i’m leavin’ now .
A
get out of my space , get out of my face .
D5
i’m leavin’ now . adios , i’m leavin’ now .

D5
pull up the collar on my trav’lin’ coat ,

sell that mis’rable pleasure boat .
G5
i wouldn’t give a nickel for another buck .
D5
i’m livin’ on muscle , guts and luck .

if anybody asks , where did i go ,

tell ’em i went there there wild goose go .
G5
they won’t even have me an area code;
D5
don’t have a number , don’t need a road .

G5 D5
i’m leavin’ now , i’m leavin’ now .
A
get out of my face , get out of my space .
D5
i’m leavin’ now . adios , i’m leavin’ now .
