[Intro] Dm C (3x) [Verse 1]
Dm
All this time I'd never let you go

            C                                     
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul

  Dm
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire

            C                                          
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes

            Bb                              C  
Somehow you got it in your head, that you can make it on your own

         Bb                                G              A7
You were sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
[Chorus]
         Dm            
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         C              
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         Dm            
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         C                G
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Verse 2]
Dm
Well your heart was here, resting on my lap

        C                      
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back

       Dm
Well I know I'm lying, lying in the cold

             C                                                
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be leaving down the road

          Bb                         C  
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go

  Bb                             G                A7
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
[Chorus]
         Dm            
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         C              
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         Dm            
Leave it alone, leave it alone

         C                G
Leave it alone, leave it alone
[Instrumental] Dm C G [Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C    Dm C Dm C
Oooooh, etc.
[Interlude]
    Dm
The ghosts are on the green each and every night

       C                   
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take

           Dm
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold

       C                 G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
[Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C G
Oooooh, etc.
[Interlude]
         Dm
Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while

           C                               
There's no dimension to the clouds, and the moon and world around

           Dm
That's the heart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go

      C                   G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
[Ooh section]
Dm C Dm C G
Oooooh, etc.
(You can end on G, or you can repeat the last chords once or twice if you feel like that's better closure for the song.)
