G                 Bm
Walking down that windy road
C                       G  D  
Only the future facing me
G                 Bm
Walking down that narrow path
C                                     G D
Won't look back, there's nothing to see
G                   Bm
The day has come, I must be going
C                          G D
I'll take my memories with me
G                     Bm
My heart is stone and I won't go back
C                        G  D
Goodbyes just aren't for me

G                   Bm
And if you want to know my name
C                            G     D
Listen to the rustle of the leaves
C                  Bm   C  D
And if you wnat to know my name
C                           G 
Listem to the rustle of the leaves

Walking down that lonely street
Just my pack to accompany me
So many times I've gone this route
Sometimes it's better to let things be

I've been hurt many times before
Now I've closed that same old door
Someday I'll try and settle down
but for now my heart cries free

And if you want to call my name
I'll listen to the rustle of the leaves
And if you want to call my name
I'll listen to the rustle of the leaves
