[Intro] G C D C (x2) [Verse 1]
G                               D                        G
I won't take your hand when you turn to walk away in the morning

G                       D                                 G
And I'll try not to cry   when you say goodbye, you tried   to warn me

     C                  D      G             C             G
Some morning you'd wake up, an ocean would arise and you'd be gone

  C                  D                 C            D           G
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your   reason for stayin' was gone
[Verse 2]
G                           D                      G
My words of I love you keep creeping into my conversation

G                           D                         G
Like you always told me any love for you would be a fool's creation

            C          D            G                C                   G
I guess the newness of loving me no longer holds the flavors you've once   known

  C                  D                 C            D           G
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your   reason for stayin' was gone
[Bridge]
   D                                   C                      G
So I'll just lay here in your arms and hope the dawn comes very slowly

   D                                 C                       G     D N.C.
We had our time for love but now the time has come you'll be goin'
[Hook]
        G                                   C          G
I won't question you with what I guess I've known all along

  C                  D                 C            D           G
I knew that you'd be leavin' when your   reason for stayin' was gone
[Outro] G C D C (x6)
