You’re Leaving

C    F  Dm G   You’re

C    F  Dm G   leaving, you’re going away.  I'm

C    F  Dm G   grieving, I want you to stay.  You

C                     packed up your things to make a new start.  I

Am    F            wish you would have taken this hole in my heart.

 

So I miss you. I wish you were here. 

I want to kiss you and show you I care.

Nothing would be sweeter than to play this part

but now all I feel is this hole in my heart.

 

I Love you, I want you to know. 

I Love you, how could you go?

Love can take the strongest man and rip him apart. 

I wish that Love would tear up this hole in my heart.

 

Dm    F  C     In the middle of this confusion,

Dm    F  C     lies a riddle for the blue.

Em    F          What goes up and down and out, through and in between?

Em    F          What can make a weeping man laugh and a joker want to scream?

Dm F  C        It's the only thing that's free.

Dm F  C        It's the only thing that's true.

Dm F  C        It's the only thing that matter's

G                   to me.  I want to share it with you.

 

You gave me more than I knew. 

You can take me, don't tell me we're through.

Next time I see you we'll make a new start and

I won't have to live in this hole in my heart.

I miss you...
