[Verse 1]
B C#m7
When I think that there's nothing left to say,
D#m
Then you say it again,
C#m C#m7
Hurts like never before,
Bmaj7
Searching to find a open door.
[Verse 2]
B C#m7
Tell you this we'll never meet again,
D#m
When I'm feeling this way,
C#m7
With these words you will fly,
Bmaj7
Like a bird in the unforgiving sky,
[Chorus 1]
Emaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind,
Emaj7
Don't leave me behind.

[Verse 3]
B C#m7
We could dive beneath the golden waves,
D#m
Yeah we could be safe,
C#m7
Through the sandhills we ride
Bmaj7
Like the leaves on the vine of forgotten time
[Chorus 2]
Emaj7
Don't leave me behind
Bmaj7
Don't leave me behind
Emaj7
Don't leave me behind

[Bridge]
C#maj7 Emaj7
And as the distant whispers call my name,
Bmaj7
In the blackest heartlands of my shame,
Emaj7 F#
I hear you laugh, I know it's all a game,
Bmaj7 Emaj7
Look around there's no-one left to blame
F# G#maj7
Losing my way

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