[Verse 1]
C Dm7
When I think that there's nothing left to say,
Em
Then you say it again,
Dm Dm7
Hurts like never before,
Cmaj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
C Dm7
Tell you this we'll never meet again,
Em
When I'm feeling this way,
Dm7
With these words you will fly,
Cmaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Fmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Fmaj7
Don't leave me behind.
Em

[Verse 3]
C Dm7
We could dive beneath the golden waves,
Em
Yeah we could be safe,
Dm7
Through the sandhills we ride
Cmaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Fmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Cmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Fmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Em

[Bridge]
Dmaj7 Fmaj7
And as the distant whispers call my name,
Cmaj7
In the blackest heartlands of my shame,
Fmaj7 G
I hear you laugh, I know it's all a game,
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Look around there's no-one left to blame
G Amaj7
Losing my way

[Verse 4]
D Em7
I could hide familiar in my pain,
F#m
Serve my sorrows in vein,
Em7
I could step right outside,
Dmaj7
Show you that I'm alive,
[Chorus 3]
Gmaj7
And you'll leave me behind,
Dmaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Gmaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Dmaj7
I'll leave you behind,
Gmaj7
I'll leave you behind. [Repeat to fade]
