Dm      C                      G
And love  is not the easy thing
The only baggage that you can bring
Dm      C                     G
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

D           A              G        Em
And if the darkness is to keep us a-part
D           A                  G               Em
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off...
D       A                        G
And if your glass heart should crack
           Em              D
And for a second you turn back
    A        E
Oh no, Be strong

Chorus:
     D        A
Walk on, Walk on
          G
What you got they can't steal it
 Em
No they can't even feel it
     D        A
Walk on, Walk on
G            E
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Chorus

        D                      A
And I know it aches, and your heart it breaks
            E
And you can only take so much

D  A            G
Home, Hard to know what that is,
if you've never had one
D  A           G
Home, I can't say where it is,
but I know I'm going
D  A                    E
Home, That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches, and your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much

     Em G D A
Walk on.

           Em  G
Leave it behind
                          D A
You've got to leave it behind

             Em                     G
All that you fashion, all that you make
              D                    A
All that you build, all that you break
             Em                     G
All that you measure, all that you feel
              D           A
All this you can leave behind
              Em                 G
All that you reason, needs only time
              D            A
All that I'm feelin on my mind
              Em                    G
All that you sense, all that you scheme
          D                         A
All you dress up, and all that you seem
