G C G C G D G
It's a Glesson too Clate for the Glearnin',
Cmade of Gsand, Dmade of Gsand
In the wink of an Ceye my soul is Gturnin',
Cin your Ghand, Din your Ghand.
Are you Dgoing away with no Cword of fareGwell,
will there Cbe not a Gtrace left Dbehind?D7
Well, I Gcould have loved you Cbetter,
didn't Gmean to be unkind;
you Dknow that was the D7last thing on my Gmind.
You've got Greasons a-Cplenty for Ggoin',
Cthis I Gknow Dthis I Gknow.
For the weeds have been Csteadily Ggrowin',
Cplease don't Ggo, Dplease don't Ggo.
Are you Dgoing away with no Cword of fareGwell,
will there Cbe not a Gtrace left Dbehind?D7
Well, I Gcould have loved you Cbetter,
didn't Gmean to be unkind;
you Dknow that was the D7last thing on my Gmind.
As we walk on, my Cthoughts keep Gtumblin',
Cround and Ground, Dround and Ground
Underneath our feet the Csubways Grumblin',
CunderGground, DunderGground
Are you Dgoing away with no Cword of fareGwell,
will there Cbe not a Gtrace left Dbehind?D7
Well, I Gcould have loved you Cbetter,
didn't Gmean to be unkind;
you Dknow that was the D7last thing on my Gmind.
As I lie in my Cbed in the Gmornin',
Cwithout Gyou, Dwithout Gyou.
Every song in my Cbreast lies a Gbornin',
Cwithout Gyou, Dwithout Gyou.
Are you Dgoing away with no Cword of fareGwell,
will there Cbe not a Gtrace left Dbehind?D7
Well, I Gcould have loved you Cbetter,
didn't Gmean to be unkind;
you Dknow that was the D7last thing on my Gmind.
