[Verse 1]
F# G#m7
When I think that there's nothing left to say,
A#m
Then you say it again,
G#m G#m7
Hurts like never before,
F#maj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
F# G#m7
Tell you this we'll never meet again,
A#m
When I'm feeling this way,
G#m7
With these words you will fly,
F#maj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
F#maj7
Don't leave me behind,
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind.

[Verse 3]
F# G#m7
We could dive beneath the golden waves,
A#m
Yeah we could be safe,
G#m7
Through the sandhills we ride
F#maj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind
F#maj7
Don't leave me behind
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind

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

[Verse 4]
G# A#m7
I could hide familiar in my pain,
Cm
Serve my sorrows in vein,
A#m7
I could step right outside,
G#maj7
Show you that I'm alive,
[Chorus 3]
C#maj7
And you'll leave me behind,
G#maj7
I'll leave you behind,
C#maj7
I'll leave you behind,
G#maj7
I'll leave you behind,
C#maj7
I'll leave you behind. [Repeat to fade]
