[Verse 1]
D Em7
When I think that there's nothing left to say,
F#m
Then you say it again,
Em Em7
Hurts like never before,
Dmaj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
D Em7
Tell you this we'll never meet again,
F#m
When I'm feeling this way,
Em7
With these words you will fly,
Dmaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind.
F#m

[Verse 3]
D Em7
We could dive beneath the golden waves,
F#m
Yeah we could be safe,
Em7
Through the sandhills we ride
Dmaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Dmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Gmaj7
Don't leave me behind
F#m

[Bridge]
Emaj7 Gmaj7
And as the distant whispers call my name,
Dmaj7
In the blackest heartlands of my shame,
Gmaj7 A
I hear you laugh, I know it's all a game,
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Look around there's no-one left to blame
A Bmaj7
Losing my way

[Verse 4]
E F#m7
I could hide familiar in my pain,
G#m
Serve my sorrows in vein,
F#m7
I could step right outside,
Emaj7
Show you that I'm alive,
[Chorus 3]
Amaj7
And you'll leave me behind,
Emaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Amaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Emaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Amaj7
I'll leave you behind. [Repeat to fade]
