Verse 1
Am 
I'm leaving my best friend behind
F 
It's not that I don't love her
Am 
But then my hands are
blistered from the strain
He's leaving half his troop behind
F 
And he knows he can't fight without them
Am 
But he is tired of carrying that weight
Because we can't move forward
and we're looking back
F 
Everyone knows we can't travel like that
Am 
I got a taxman at my door
And a good wife wouldn't act like that
C 
Yeah, we can't move forward
when we're looking back
Everyone knows we can't travel like that
F 
C 
Am 
C 
Am 
I  bring the taxman to his knees
Will you marry me?
C 
Am 
Will you come back?
C 
I'm taking half the land with me
It's not like you will need it
F 
Am 
To walk the same route
you have for years
I'm taking both the cars with me
C 
F 
It's not like you will use them
Am 
For anything than driving for the cliff
C 
Because we can't move forward
if we're looking back
Everyone knows we can't travel like that
I'll go the taxman at my door
Am 
And a good wife would
C 
n't act like that
Yeah, we can't move forward
if we're looking back
Csus4 
Everyone knows we
C 
can't travel like that
Am 
I'll bring the taxman to his knees
Will you marry me?
C 
Will you come?

If I call, promise you not to write now
G 
I can't agree right here and now
C 
The way we'll meet back here

I can't promise you much right now
G 
But I can agree right here and now
