> > [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,
[Chorus 1]
                   Gmaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,

                 Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind,

                 Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind,

                 Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind.

        Bm

> > [Verse 3]
G                                  Am7
 We could dive beneath the golden waves,

                  Bm
 Yeah we could be safe,

                          Am7
 Through the sandhills we ride
[Chorus 2]
                       Gmaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time           

                 Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind

                 Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind

                 Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind

        Bm

> > [Bridge]
Amaj7                        Cmaj7
 And as the distant whispers call my name,

Gmaj7
 In the blackest heartlands of my shame,

Cmaj7                          D
 I hear you laugh, I know it's all a game,

Gmaj7                               Cmaj7
 Look around there's no one left to blame

           D    Emaj7        
 Losing my way 
[Instrumental]

> > [Verse 4]
A                            Bm7
 I could hide familiar in my pain,

                     C#m
 Serve my sorrows in vein,

                       Bm7
 I could step right outside,
[Chorus 3]
Amaj7
Show you that I'm alive,

                      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]
