(I would just think of it as C and F, with the B-C-B-C thing as a decoration) [Intro] C Fmaj7 [Verse 1]
C          (Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7 C)  Fmaj7
Laid our blessings on the ground

                 C
The softening of sound

(Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7 C) Fmaj7
Draws us closed again

C     (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C)  Fmaj7
Stay, stay and watch the coals

                    C
till they cease to glow

(Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Fmaj7
like empty promises
[Chorus]
C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

C
Baby?
C Fmaj7 [Verse 2]
C                      Fmaj7
There's nothing I can say

               C
Nothing I can do

                    Fmaj7
To bring you back again

C                       Fmaj7
This of life I know is true

                     C
It's all a falling through

                    Fmaj7
and so I reach for you
[Chorus]
C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
[Bridge]
Am          Em
Don't you care

Am                 Em
That it may seem unfair?

F                             C     G
You steal things you ought to borrow

Am          Em
Don't you find

Am                  Em
That it may seem unkind?

F                                C     G
I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow
[Final Chorus]
C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

C  G           F                  C   G
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

C
Baby?
C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 (Finish on C)
