Dave Gunning - We're All Leaving
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C  
There is Am7thunder Fon the Cskyline 
And it Amtears her breath away 
In the twilight iron-Cgrey 
A father's Am7human hand could not comFmand Cher 
To reFturn to them once more 
Like a soldier from the Cwar 
CHORUS:
We're all FleavCing 
FEven the Cones who stay beAm7hind 
We're all Fleaving Gin our owCn time 
Each night surAm7renders to aFnother Cmorning 
Still beAmneath the April skies 
He can hear a quiet crCy 
On smiling Am7fields there's a Fbattle Craging 
And for Fevery bloom he knows 
Another flower never Cgrows 
CHORUS:
We're all FleavCing 
FEven the Cones who stay beAm7hind 
We're all Fleaving Gin our own Am7time 
We're all Fleaving Gin our owCn time 
BRIDGE:
And he Dm7has no Ark to bear him from this Fflood 
Just a Cbroken vessel wrought in flesh and Gblood 
Though the Am7riptides pull him under 
He Dcannot cease to wonder 
At the Fbeauty of it all
At the Dm7beauty of it Call 
He brings her Am7mother to the Fchurch Cdoors 
And while she Amprays for what must come 
He walks the woods aClone 
And there he Am7builds his Fown caCthedrals 
And on eFvery whirring wing 
He can hear the forest sCing
CHORUS:
We're all FleavCing 
FEven the Cones who stay beAm7hind 
We're all Fleaving Gin our own Am7time 
We're all Fleaving Gin our own Am7time 
We're all Fleaving Gin our owCn time

Dave Gunning - We're All Leaving

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO:

Am7 F C

There is thunder on the skyline

And it tears her breath away

In the twilight iron-grey

Am7 F C

A father's human hand could not command her

To return to them once more

Like a soldier from the war

CHORUS:

F C

We're all leaving

F C Am7

Even the ones who stay behind

F G C

We're all leaving in our own time

Am7 F C

Each night surrenders to another morning

Still beneath the April skies

He can hear a quiet cry

Am7 F C

On smiling fields there's a battle raging

And for every bloom he knows

Another flower never grows

CHORUS:

F C

We're all leaving

F C Am7

Even the ones who stay behind

F G Am7

We're all leaving in our own time

F G C

We're all leaving in our own time

BRIDGE:

Dm7 F

And he has no Ark to bear him from this flood

C G

Just a broken vessel wrought in flesh and blood

Am7

Though the riptides pull him under

He cannot cease to wonder

At the beauty of it all

Dm7 C

At the beauty of it all

Am7 F C

He brings her mother to the church doors

And while she prays for what must come

He walks the woods alone

Am7 F C

And there he builds his own cathedrals

And on every whirring wing

He can hear the forest sing

CHORUS:

F C

We're all leaving

F C Am7

Even the ones who stay behind

F G Am7

We're all leaving in our own time

F G Am7

We're all leaving in our own time

F G C

We're all leaving in our own time
