	  		Intro: | F  Dm  | C  | 

Verse 1:
  Dm                      Bb               C                F 
Although the years have changed now and we go by different names 
    F             Dm        C 
I remember the sound of our roof in the rain 
        Bb               Dm        C          F 
And my mind goes back in time to a place so far gone 
          F               Dm               C 
Where the love we left behind us was still new 

Verse 2:
        Dm                Bb         C            F 
We were listenin' to a record on the end of your bed 
    F                 Dm                C 
Not givin' thought to where it was all goin' 
F/A    Bb                    Dm             C                  F 
 And I wished right then and there so badly I could read your mind 
        F                  Dm                    C 
Just so I could know the things that you were knowin' 

 
     F Dm         C   Cadd9 C 
I believe, yes, I do 
    Bb               Dm    C               F 
The hardest part is always leaving love behind 
     F Dm7        C   Cadd9 C 
I believe, yes, I do 
     Bb              Dm      C            F 
That everything we lose will be a gift in time 
        F               Dm             C 
But the hardest part is leaving love behind 


Verse 3:
     Dm              Bb                C                 F 
When it was time to say goodbye, those words came down like stones 
    F               Dm            C 
I admit for so long after it was hard to feel at home 
         Bb                 Dm             C            F 
We would hear the highway's song shifting down in the night 
      F                  Dm                C 
I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet 

 
     F Dm         C 
I believe, yes, I do 
    Bb               Dm    C               F 
The hardest part is always leaving love behind 
     F Dm7        C 
I believe, yes, I do 
     Bb              Dm      C            F 
That everything we lose will be a gift in time 
        F               Dm             C 
But the hardest part is leaving love behind

Verse 4:
    Dm               Bb            C                  F 
The sun fades on me now and I miss you like words can't know 
      F                 Dm            C 
And I missed my shot at dyin' young a long time ago 
            Bb                 Dm             C              F 
It's just a lesson learned in love, it's not angry, it's not sad 
    F                    Dm           C                   Cadd9 C 
Sometimes you gotta lose something to know what you have

I believe (I believe), yes, I do 
    Bb               Dm    C               F 
The hardest part is always leaving love behind 
     F         Dm             C 
I believe (I believe), yes, I do 
         Bb             Dm       C            F 
Oh, that everything we lose will be a gift in time 
     F          Dm7           C 
(I believe) I believe (Yes, I do) 
    F               Dm             C 
The hardest part is leaving love behind
