G C G  C G  D  G
 
       G          C            G
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
C       G    D         G
made of sand,  made of sand
                  C              G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
C       G    D         G
in your hand,  in your hand.
 
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
           G         C          G
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
C      G    D        G
this I know   this I know.
                        C        G
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
C            G  D              G
please don't go,  please don't go.
 
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
                  C             G
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
C         G     D           G
round and round,  round and round
                        C       G
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
C    G      D      G
underground,  underground
 
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
               C          G
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
C       G  D         G
without you, without you.
                 C             G
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
C       G   D         G
without you,  without you.
 
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           C        G            D    D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C
Well, I could have loved you better,
       G
didn't mean to be unkind;
    D                 D7               G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
