[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)
