I'll Leave Myself a Little Time

Words & Music by Steve Dossick

Eb        Eb/D             Eb/C       Eb/Bb
Not long ago you'd find me feeling so low
           Ab                Bb         Eb
I had some troubles that you just can't hide
Eb         Eb/D             Eb/C        Eb/Bb
No time to start but livin' far from my heart
              Ab           Bb     Eb
I thought I'd take another look inside

Eb         Eb/D                  Eb/C        Eb/Bb
Lovers and friends will come and go like the wind
             Ab          Bb      Eb
and there is nothin' any man can do
Eb            Eb/D              Eb/C         Eb/Bb
For what it's worth I'll make a home on this earth
           Ab                  Bb     Eb
and I will hope that love will see me through

     
CHORUS:
  
       Ab
  I'll leave myself a little time for some gladness
      Eb        Gm         Eb
  and even if I don't know why
  Ab                                                 Eb
  Tomorrow's gonna bring the sunshine to a brand new day anyway
          Ab
  There's music in the air with laughter everywhere
      Eb                Gm     Eb
  And love could be the reason why
       Fm7                   Bb7          Bb7sus Bb7 Eb
  I'll leave myself a little time to go a different way


Eb         Eb/D              Eb/C      Eb/Bb
I can't believe that now I'm singin' a song
            Ab                 Bb        Eb
or that I'm laughin' with that great big sun
Eb       Eb/D          Eb/C      Eb/Bb
No one I see has got a worry for me
            Ab         Bb          Eb
I'm keepin' old Mister Time on the run


CHORUS


     Fm7                   Bb7          Bb7sus Bb7 Eb Eb/D Eb/C Eb/Bb
I'll leave myself a little time to go a different way
