[Verse 1]
A Bm7
When I think that there's nothing left to say,
C#m
Then you say it again,
Bm Bm7
Hurts like never before,
Amaj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
A Bm7
Tell you this we'll never meet again,
C#m
When I'm feeling this way,
Bm7
With these words you will fly,
Amaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Amaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind.

[Verse 3]
A Bm7
We could dive beneath the golden waves,
C#m
Yeah we could be safe,
Bm7
Through the sandhills we ride
Amaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Amaj7
Don't leave me behind
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind

[Bridge]
Bmaj7 Dmaj7
And as the distant whispers call my name,
Amaj7
In the blackest heartlands of my shame,
Dmaj7 E
I hear you laugh, I know it's all a game,
Amaj7 Dmaj7
Look around there's no-one left to blame
E F#maj7
Losing my way

[Verse 4]
B C#m7
I could hide familiar in my pain,
D#m
Serve my sorrows in vein,
C#m7
I could step right outside,
Bmaj7
Show you that I'm alive,
[Chorus 3]
Emaj7
And you'll leave me behind,
Bmaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Emaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Bmaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Emaj7
I'll leave you behind. [Repeat to fade]
