Open or Capo I*
 
C F C  F C  G  C
 
       C          F            C
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
F       C     G         C
made of sand,   made of sand
                  F              C
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
F       C     G         C
in your hand,   in your hand.
 
        G                  F           C
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        C            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        C                    F
Well, I could have loved you better,
       C
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               C
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
           C         F          C
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
F      C    G        C
this I know   this I know.
                        F        C
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
F            C  G              C
please don't go,  please don't go.
 
        G                  F           C
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        C            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        C                    F
Well, I could have loved you better,
       C
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               C
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
                  F             C
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
F         C      G           C
round and round,   round and round
                        F       C
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
F    C       G      C
underground,   underground
 
        G                  F           C
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        C            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        C                    F
Well, I could have loved you better,
       C
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               C
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
 
               F          C
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
F       C   G         C
without you,  without you.
                 F             C
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
F       C    G         C
without you,   without you.
 
        G                  F           C
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        C            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        C                    F
Well, I could have loved you better,
       C
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               C
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
