First Mile of Leaving
by Teresa Chandler and Conni Leigh James
CAPO 4/5 IN LOW TUNING 88? BPM
[intro] A9 hammer on I think this is an Asus2
[verse 1]
Breathing to the rhythm of waves on the shore
Daydreaming, in awe of the sky
Kiss of a breeze is brushing my skin
ooooooo I am mesmerized
light through the window is painting the room
spilling warm across the floor
Here I remember that feeling this way
Is what I’ve been/keep searching for
Is what I’m always searching for
[chorus]
The first mile of leaving is the hardest part
’cause we’re looking behind as we go
Who will I be if I come back again
time is a river that flows
[verse 2]
Backing down the driveway moving so slow
I’m leaving, I know I can’t stay
The house looks so small as I’m turning the wheel
Nothing will ever be the same [nothing ever stays the same]
The last time I look the windows are dark
I don’t know what I expect to see
It feels like something is ripping away
God knows I don’t want to leave
[chorus]
The first mile of leaving is the hardest part
’cause we’re looking behind as we go
Who will I be when I come back again
time is a river that flows
time is a river that flows
