Intro: G C G  C G  D  G    

       G          C            G    
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',    
C       G   D         G    
made of sand, made of sand.    
                  C              G    
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'   
C       G   D         G    
in your hand, in your hand.    

 
        D                  C           G     
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell;    
           C        G            D    D7    
will there be not a trace left behind?    
        G                    C        
Well, I could have loved you better,    
       G                     
didn't mean to be unkind;    
    D                 D7               G    
you know that was the last thing on my mind.   
 

           G         C          G    
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin';    
C      G   D        G    
this I know, this I know.    
                        C        G    
For the weeds have been steadily growin';    
C            G  D             G    
please don't go, please don't go.    

   
        D                  C           G     
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell;    
           C        G            D    D7    
will there be not a trace left behind?    
        G                    C        
Well, I could have loved you better,

you know that was the last thing on my mind.
    

                  C             G    
As we walk on, my thoughts keep a-tumblin',    
C         G    D           G    
round and round, round and round.    
                        C       G    
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',    
C    G     D      G    
underground, underground.    

        D                  C           G     
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell;

will there be not a trace left behind?    
 G                    C        
I could have loved you better,

you know that was the last thing on my mind. 
   

               C          G    
As I lie in my bed in the mornin'    
C       G  D         G    
without you, without you.    
                 C             G    
Every song in my breast dies a-bornin'    
C       G  D         G    
without you, without you.    

   
        D                  C           G     
Are you goin' away with no word of farewell;
