Verse 1:
Bb7sus4                            Bb6
There’s a lot of ground to cover,One foot and then the other
Bb7sus4                           Ebmaj7
On my way, my way, to something new

Verse 2:
Bb7sus4
A few false starts, can you forgive this
                       Bb6
cautious heart,and just bare with it
Bb7sus4                              Ebmaj7
While it does what I thought it couldn’t do

Chorus:
                       Abmaj7
I could go back to the old place
                            Gm7
And write your name on every blank page
                   Bb7sus4
But it’s a story now, just a story now
                           Cm     Eb
Is the kind of thing that you’d say
                          Abmaj7
You say no need to look behind me
                           Gm7
That I can keep you here beside me
                 Gm7                        Bb7sus4
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it

   Bb7sus4
You dip your toe and then you paddle
Bb6
All before you swim the Channel,
      Bb7sus4                  Ebmaj7
thought I’d never make it but I might
