[Verse 1]
G Am7
When I think that there s nothing left to say,
Bm
Then you say it again,
Am Am7
Hurts like never before,
Gmaj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
G Am7
Tell you this we ll never meet again,
Bm
When I m feeling this way,
Am7
With these words you will fly,
Gmaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Cmaj7
Don t leave me behind,
Gmaj7
Don t leave me behind,
Cmaj7
Don t leave me behind.

We could dive beneath the golden waves,
Bm
Yeah we could be safe,
Am7
Through the sandhills we ride
Gmaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Cmaj7
Don t leave me behind
Gmaj7
Don t leave me behind
Cmaj7
Don t leave me behind

I could hide familiar in my pain,
C#m
Serve my sorrows in vein,
Bm7
I could step right outside,
Amaj7
Show you that I m alive,
[Chorus 3]
Dmaj7
And you ll leave me behind,
Amaj7
I ll leave you behind,
Dmaj7
I ll leave you behind,
Amaj7
I ll leave you behind,
Dmaj7
I ll leave you behind. [Repeat to fade]
