Verse
G# C7
--There's nothing left inside me, honey
Fm D# C#
You can call your own
G# C7
--No landmark you can recognize
Fm D# C#
No place that feels like home
A# A#7
You better leave it alone
C#m D#
You better leave, it all
G# G#
Alone
[Verse 2]
G# C7
--There's nothing left that I possess
Fm D# C#
You'll ever want to steal

--No one you can talk to here
Fm D# C#
No bargains, no good deals
A# A#7
You better leave it alone
C#m D#
You better leave, it all
G#
Alone
[Chorus 1]
C#7
Because we don't want to press our luck
G#7
And maybe make that well run dry
C#7
Ya know we both been betting on rain
G#7
But there ain't a cloud in the sky
C#7
And how can I convince you
G#7
That you'll be richer by yourself
C#7
Your good faith only makes me poor
G#
Please spend it someplace else
[Verse 3]
G# C7
I got no good dreams to paint your sleep
Fm D# C#
No place to rest your head

--Tonight you'd better go on home
Fm D# C#
And cry in your own bed
A# A#7
You better leave it alone
C#m D#
You better leave it all
G# G#
Alone
[Verse 4]
G# C7
--How many tough miles --have we traveled
Fm D# C#
Like bandits side by side
G# C7
--But now our boots are wearing thin
Fm D# C#
We're feeling so dissatisfied
A# A#7
We better leave it alone
C#m D#
We better leave, it all
G#
Alone
[Chorus 2]
C#7
Because we don't want to press our luck
G#7
And maybe make that well run dry
C#7
Ya know we both been betting on rain
G#7
But there ain't a cloud in the sky
C#7
And how can I convince you
G#7
You'll be richer by yourself
C#7
Your good faith only makes me poor
G#
Please spend it someplace else
[Verse 5]
G# C7
--The carnival is leaving town
Fm D# C#
We never got to go
G# C7
--But I've been your fire eater
Fm D# C#
You've been my whole goddamned sideshow
A# A#7
Better leave it alone
C#m D#
You better leave it all
G# G#
Alone
[Verse 6]
G# C7
--The next time I think of you
Fm D# C#
I'll be staying in a blue motel
G# C7
--I'll wonder about how you're cutting your hair

Prob'ly even wish you well
A# A#7
Let's leave it alone
C#m
Let's leave, it
D#
All
G#
Alone

Ya better leave it alone

Ya better leave it a-leave it alone

Ya better leave it alone

Ya better leave it all alone

Ya better leave it a-leave it alone
